Tänkvärda ord från Buddismen
tinna | 12 december, 2007Peace is within oneself to be found in
the same place as agitation and suffering
It is not found in a forest or on a hill top
nor is it given by a teacher.
Where you experience suffering,
you can also find freedom from suffering.
Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.
One ought not long for what has passed away,
Nor be anxious over things that are yet to come.
The past has left us, the future has not arrived.
Effort is the duty of today,
Even tomorrow death may come,
for it is against out power
to delay Death and its great armies.
The sages of peace speak of that one who strives
Never lazy throughout the entire day and night
”Praise the one who truly lives for even a single night”
