2004 … Bellied UP to Buddha
And it was also during this time that I delved more deeply into – and began to understand the deeper implications of – the words of Gautama Buddha (especially his early work, The Dhammapada) …
“However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them? Better than a thousand hollow words, is the one word that brings Peace … Hatred does not cease via hatred, but only via Love. This is the eternal rule.” ~ G. Buddha
