This is a personal project to post a reflection on every verse of the Dhammapada. The reflection may be an image, saying or poem but mostly it will just be some prose inspired by the verse. Sometimes the reflection will be directly inspired by the verse as I understand it. On other occasions it may be simply a word or phrase in the verse that particularly inspires or triggers remembrance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mostly I will go through the verses in the order they appear in the Dhammapada. Sometimes I’ll jump ahead and pick out a text further on. Whatever I do, I aim to reflect on each verse at least once. I imagine it will take around 8 years. After 8 years I shall likely start again; around and around like the wheel of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
