The great wisdom of the Scriptures Ehipassiko Notes: Come and check out for ourselves the wise teachings in the Scriptures.

There’re life’s lessons we ought to know Ehipassiko

For all the things that arise Originate in the mind Notes: Mind is the forerunner of all things. Mental states of Happiness and Sorrow have their origin in the Mind

Let us sing it loud and make it clear The Truth we must make sure

Words of Wisdom we do revere But never … never …ever … blindly follow.
