BUDDHIST WISDOM

If he recites next to nothing
but follows the Dhamma
in line with the Dhamma;
abandoning passion,
aversion, delusion;
alert,
his mind well-released,
not clinging
either here or hereafter:
he has his share in the contemplative life.

-Dhammapada, 20, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
