A Renaissance Of Hope

Buddhist Spirituality

Must I now preach what I so hardly won?
Men sunk in sin and lusts would find it hard to plumb this Doctrine,
--up stream all the way, abstruse, profound, most subtle, hard to grasp.
Dear lusts will blind them that they shall not see, --in densest mists of ignorance befogged.

--May it please the Lord, may it please the Blessed One, to preach his doctrine!
Beings there are whose vision is but little dimmed,
who are perishing because they do not hear the Doctrine;
-- these will understand it!
Gotama Buddha
