Most excellent, Lord, are the words of thy mouth, most excellent!

Excerpt

Most excellent, Lord, are the words of thy mouth, most excellent! Just as if a man were to set up that which is thrown down, or were to reveal that which is hidden away, or were to point out the right road to him who has gone astray, or were to bring a lamp into the darkness, so that those who have eyes can see external forms;—just even so, Lord, has the truth been made known to us, in many a figure, by the Blessed One.

✨ To meditate on today

According to the Tevigga Sutta, two young Brahmans thank the Buddha: his teaching has been for them like a lamp brought into the darkness, which sets the one who has gone astray back on the right road. Today, think of a word or a person who has lit up your path, and thank them with a message or in person.
