DAILY READINGS 10th May 2008

The doer of good rejoices here, rejoices there,
Rejoices both here and there.
He rejoices and is glad
As he recollects his own good deeds.

The doer of good delights here, delights there,
Delights both here and there.
The thought: "Good I have done"
Fills him with delight.
He delights all the more
When he goes to the realm of bliss.


DAILY ENLIGHTENMENT - UNMERRY-GO-ROUND

The possible reasons why you are still riding in the unmerry-go-round of life and death (Samsara) :

1. You have not got sick and tired of the ride yet.
2. You have forgotten how sick and tired of the ride you were.
3. You enjoy it now, not realising you will get sick and tired of it.
4. You are sick and tired of it but don't know how to get off.
5. You are in the process of getting off.
6. are actually a great Bodhisattva in disguise as an ordinary sentient being, secretly saving others.

Well, which fits you? Hope it is 5 or 6.
