Daily Words of the Buddha for July 07, 2020

Nā Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila
Pāli Word a Day for July 07, 2020
anasuropa — absence of abruptness

Yo ca vassasataṃ jīve
apassaṃ udayabbayaṃ
ekāhaṃ jīvitaṃ seyyo
passato udayabbayaṃ.

Better it is to live one day
seeing the rise and fall of things
than to live a hundred years
without ever seeing the rise and fall of things.

Dhammapada 8.113
The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom, translated from Pāli by Acharya Buddharakkhita
