" Putta ma atthi dhanam ma atti
iti balo vihannathi
atta hi attano natthi
kuto putta kuto dhanam"
( Bala wargaya- Anguththara Nikaya)
The foolish person is happy since s/he has got sons and wealth. when one is not one's own what is the point of having sons and welath...
I took part with Yohan's unplanned road trip to nowhere through marine drive during my short visit to motherland. We managed to stay in katharagama for the second night anyway. I was really delighted to see the "Dammapada" book in the room and I rushed through and stopped at the above "deshana" . We as humans always want to be belonged and used to think they will with us and never be apart. It's an eternal truth, the "pancha upadhanaskanda" are not I, me and mine and there is no security for the journey of sansara from externals. The nobel security for one's self lies within and we are our own survivors. I closed my eyes an tried to realize the impermanancy and insecurity in the materialistic life. I murmered to myself, Natti me saranang agnam Buddho me saranam warang...natti me saranang agnam Dhammo me saranang waran....natti me sarang agnam sangho me saranang waran''
