others and the environment,
arising in the mind will be greater joy,

that comes their way . Unknown

the greatest Dangers of Mara.

a life of Dukkha.

Are causing suffering indeed

SEEING the Dhamma.
This is what’ll bring us true Peace and Bliss, the

the foolish ones do not have the
peace of contentment.
