This Saturday: a happiness quotation from the Dhammapada.

Buddha“Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again, and you will be filled with joy. A fool is happy until his mischief turns against him. And a good man may suffer until his goodness flowers.” –The Dhammapada.

I’d read this quotation many times and never remarked on it much, but lately I can’t get it out of my head. That’s one reason I like to keep reviewing my treasure trove of quotations; sometimes, it takes years before I really start to appreciate a particular passgae.
