Daily Words of the Buddha for August 08, 2013



Sukhā virāgatā loke,
Kāmānaṃ samatikkamo;
Asmimānassa yo vinayo --
etaṃ ve paramaṃ sukhaṃ.

Blissful is passionlessness in the world,
The overcoming of sensual desires;
But the abolition of the conceit I am --
That is truly the supreme bliss.


Udāna 2.11

The Udāna and the Itivuttaka, 
trans. John D. Ireland
