  1. Few are the people
    who reach the Far Shore.
    These others
    simply scurry along
    this shore.

    But those who practice Dhamma
    in line with the well-taught Dhamma,
    will cross over the realm of Death
    so hard to transcend.
    ~Dhammapada 85-6

  6. @ReadingFaithfully_org It would be wonderful to live in close proximity to such a helpful #spirit. I'm curious: Do you know of any canonical references to anyone summoning or otherwise asking for the help of such #devatā on purpose? Or maybe guidelines for what to do so that #spirits willingly come to provide assistance or #protection? I know there's at least one #Pali #chant for inviting #devas to listen to the #chanting that follows, but I wonder if there's anything else like that.
