Food for the Soul - The Sayings of The Buddha - 28/11/2008

Better than a hundred years of worship,

Better than a thousand offerings,

Better than giving up a thousand worldly ways

In order to win merit,

Better even than tending in the forest

A sacred flame for a hundred years

Is one moment’s reverence

For the man who has conquered himself.

 

‘The Dhammapada – The Sayings of The Buddha’

Food for the Soul - The Sayings of The Buddha -

The victory is yours, when you conquer yourself.

It cannot be taken from you, Not by angels or by demons, Heaven or hell.
