Do not go after the past,
Do not lose yourself in the future.
For the past no longer exists,
And the future is not yet here.
By looking deeply at things just as they are,

RECITING SUTRA
In talking to you, dear friends, the d.o.m. has created some mouth-karma. Tonight, he'd like to recite a couple of lines from the Dhammapada of the Buddha:

"Better than a thousand hollow words
Is one word that brings peace."

And he'd like to add a line here:
"Better than a thousand imaginary pictures of mind
Is one real thing that brings light."
