The Beatitudes


Blessed are those who live full of love amongst those consumed by hatred,
dwelling free from hate amidst the hateful.

Blessed are those who live free from craving amongst those enslaved by desires,
dwelling free from compulsion amidst those enchained by lusts.

Blessed are those who gave up their belongings, for they shall be fed with joy !

The First Four Stanzas of the Nineteenth Chapter of the Dhammapada
