(OPRC) Lesson 70 (January 9, 2025) | Dhammapada 46 | Bhante Dr. G. Chandima

 

Dhammapda 46
(Sayings of the Dhamma)

Puppha
(Flowers)

46. Pheṇūpamaṁ kāyamimaṁ viditvā,
Knowing this body is like foam,

Marīcidhammaṁ abhisambudhāno;
Fully awake to its mirage-like-nature,

Chetvāna mārassa papupphakāni,
Cutting off Māra's flowers,

Adassanaṁ maccurājassa gacche.
One goes unseen by the King of Death.
