Buddhist Holy Day Dhamma (25/01/2024)
The higher ethics, the higher mind,
and the higher wisdom should be practiced
by those energetic, steadfast, and resolute,
practicing absorption, mindful, with guarded senses.
As before, so after;
as after, so before.
As below, so above;
as above, so below.
As by day, so by night;
as by night, so by day.
Having mastered every direction
with limitless immersion,
they call them a ‘trainee on the path’,
and ‘one living a pure life’.
But a wise one who has gone to the end of the path
they call a ‘Buddha’ in the world.
With the cessation of consciousness,
freed by the ending of craving,
the liberation of their heart
is like a lamp going out.”
