The Buddha

 

The Buddha (6th-5th century BCE)

“The night is long for the wide awake.
The mile is long for the weary.
The round of birth and death is long
for childish people, who do not know the good way.”

  • The Dhammapada (Verses on the Way, Chapter 5), recorded in the 3rd century BCE. Translation by Glenn Wallis, 2004.
