1. Poisonous

    Why cling to the arrows shot at you?
    Insults
    Wounds
    Time heals you see.
    Why hold so tightly
    Do these things define you?
    Do these things set you free?
    Why inject yourself with these poisons of the mind
    Anxiety
    Greed
    Anger
    Despair
    Why not let them go
    Set them free.
    Accept the choices you have
    And your responsibilities.
    Accept all that is, rather than “as it should be”
    For what does define “you”
    What will set you free
    What if you never find great meaning
    What if, in not clinging,
    You find stillness
    Calm
    Honesty
    Health
    Peace

One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Problems we face today
