Quote of the day - May 28th

Let wisdom arise within you, and learn to see the world as a kind of illusion; in doing so, your attachment to pleasant things will diminish, for all things are impermanent, ultimately empty, and devoid of self. If this is difficult for you to accept, look back upon your own life: how long did each moment of happiness truly last? And throughout your lifetime, how many great and wealthy men have lost their power and fortune? Where are the great ones who once walked this earth? Guide your mind toward such reflections, and you will understand the true meaning of impermanence. Then detachment will be easier to practise.
