Food for Thought (46)

Food for Thought – 46 –

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu Online

Mere babes cannot think for themselves about these matters. Only the study of Dhamma can help us initially. The study of the Dhamma as a discipline of knowledge is one of the basic foods for the mind; the second step involves digesting this knowledge for yourself; and then the attainment of joy and tranquillity follows. You can be said to be fully developed when nibbana is manifest and applied to daily life.
