The Buddha:
""He whose inflowing thoughts are dried up,
who is unattached to
food, whose dwelling place is an empty and imageless
release -- the
way of such a person is hard to follow, like the path of
birds
through the sky. 93
When a man's senses have come to peace,
like a horses well broken by
the trainer, when he is rid of conceit and
without inflowing
thoughts -- even devas envy such a well set man. 94
Like the earth he is not disturbed, like a great pillar he is firmly
set and reliable, like a lake he is free from defilement. There are
no
more rebirths for such a well set man. 95
Freed by full realisation
and at peace, the mind of such a man is at
peace, and his speech and
action peaceful. 96
He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated,
who has cut off
rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or
evil, and
cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man. 97
Whether in the village or the forest, whether on high ground or low,
wherever the enlightened live, that is a delightful spot. 98
Delightful for them are the forests where men find no delight. The
desire-free find delight there, for they seek no sensual
joys.""
THIS SOUNDS A LOT LIKE THAT RIG VEDA VERSE:'RICHO
ACHARE'.
DOES ANYONE REMEMBER IT?
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE ACTUAL
SANKRIT OR PALI THAT THE BUDDHA WOULD
HAVE AQCTUALLY SPOKEN THIS? WHAT IS
THE VERSE IN HIS LANGUAGE?
