The Dhammapada oozes wisdom and compassion and reminds me that life is tough, that we all suffer, and that we do so because we insist on yearning for external stuff that won't ever make us permanently happy. It reminds me that enlightenment really is an inside job, one that includes letting go of the whole wildly entertaining melodrama I call my life.
