This Week's Quote




Wrath must ye slay and utterly abandon pride,
And all the fetters must ye overcome
For sorrows follow not the man-of-naught
Who not to these in mind-and-body clings
He got rid of reckoning, came not to a mansion,
He cut off craving here for mind-and-body.
Him that has cut the bonds, unconcerned, desireless,
Neither devas nor men, searching here or beyond,
Do find in the heavens or any habitation.

From...Samyutta-nikaya...Buddhist Texts Through the Ages...page 44-45


Consider this cutting of all bonds that tie us to Samsara.
