" "
Through the round of many births I roamed without reward, without rest, seeking the house-builder.

Painful is birth again & again.

House-builder, you're seen!
You will not build a house again.
All your rafters broken,
the ridge pole destroyed,
gone to the Unformed,
the mind has come to the end of craving.

The Buddha

Aquele que, ávido de desejos, colhe as flores das paixões é surpreendido pela morte antes mesmo da saciedade. Que o sábio viva em sua aldeia, assim como a abelha recolhe o néctar sem prejudicar a cor e o perfume da flor.
