reflections

As I think Ive mentioned before, every day I am taking time to read two pages from the Dhammapada.  I just open it at random and feast, as it were.  Here is todays lesson:

He leaves his home, seeking
Happiness on the hard road.

Free from desire,
Free from possessions,
Free from the dark places of the heart.

Free from attachment and appetite,
Following the seven lights of awakening,

And rejoicing greatly in his freedom,
In this world of the wise man
Becomes himself a light,
Pure, shining, free.


There is nothing more I can add...
