  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

  3. One who lives restrained in the senses
    And focused on unpleasant things,
    Who is moderate in food,
    Who has faith and diligence:
    Mara cannot overcome him,
    Just as wind cannot overcome a rocky mountain.
    ~Dhammapada 8

  6. Prince Vijaya's (the first Siṅhalese king's) ancestry came from Vaṅga and Kalinga (present-day Bangla/Bengal and Odisha). But, the Siṅhalese apparently feel no desire or duty to reintegrate with or protect the Theravāda communities near Kolkata, Chittagong, etc. Why?

  7. “Pleasant feeling is pleasant when it remains and painful when it perishes.

    Painful feeling is painful when it remains and pleasant when it perishes.

    Neutral feeling is pleasant in the presence of knowledge, and painful in the presence of ignorance.”
