Fleeting Pleasures

DateFebruary 7, 2009

 

As human beings, we chase after fleeting pleasures like

a child licking honey off a

sharp knife or

a person carrying a torch

against the wind.

~ Buddha

Thus chasing after fleeting pleasures is likely to cause us pain, falure and disappointment? How true! Thank you for this reminder, Venerable.
