They who cross the ocean drear Making a solid path across the pools— Whilst the vain world ties its basket rafts— These are the wise, these are the saved indeed!

✨ To meditate on today
According to the Mahāparinibbāna Sutta, the Buddha, seeing people looking for boats and rafts to cross the Ganges, sings of those who cross the ocean of suffering by a solid path, that of wisdom and goodness, instead of relying on fragile rafts. Today, facing a difficulty, instead of a makeshift solution, ask yourself what solid, honest and peaceful step you can take, and take it.
