Drink deeply. Live in serenity and joy. The wise person delights in the truth. And follows the law of the awakened. The farmer channels water to his land. The fletcher whittles his arrows. And the carpenter turns his wood. So the wise direct their mind.
The Teachings of The Buddha, adapted from Dhammapada translated by Thomas Byrom
