Buddhist Thought of the Day
As in a pile of rubbishDhammapada, 4, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
cast by the side of a highway
a lotus might grow
clean-smelling
pleasing the heart,
so in the midst of the rubbish-like,
people run-of-the-mill & blind,
there dazzles with discernment
the disciple of the Rightly
Self Awakened One.
