CHAPTER

14

BUDDHA

Those whose conquest of desire

is complete

cannot be moved

by desire.

They create no karma.

For them there are

no entanglements,

no cravings for pleasure.

The wise,

intent on meditation,

delight in the peace that comes

from letting go.

Such mindful people

even the gods cherish.

Rare it is

to be born human.

More rare still

to hear the Dharma.

Most rare

to see a Buddha.

Shun evil.

Cultivate good.

Purify your heart.

This is the teaching of Buddha.

Patience that is enduring

is the best discipline.

One who practices such patience

with her whole heart,

letting go

of her addiction to desire,

harming no one,

oppressing no one—

Nirvana is hers.
