,,You are now like a yellowed leaf. Already Yama's minions stand near. You stand at the door to departure but have yet to provide for the journey. Make an island for yourself! Work quickly! Be wise! With impurities all blown away, unblemished, you'll reach the divine realm of the noble ones." ~Dhammapada 18
Death is unavoidable. Youth is fleeting, like a pretty bird in the sky. You WILL age. You will die. Your youth is fleeting also.
It is best to be aware of this and to plan ahead now. The more one pretends that one will be youthful forever, the more one suffers as one ages. The more one prepares and acts wisely, the more youth is restored and preserved. . . . .
,,As even a steady drip will fill a great bucket, even so do beings fill themselves with their thoughts and actions, day by day and moment by moment, with good or with evil." ~paraphrased Dhammapada reflection
That is quite humbling of you to say so. I am very glad that something good shines through in these works. Goodness knows how much Holy Texts and Inspired Words have helped me~ <3
