Dhammapada: `Dhammapada,` or `Path to Virtue,` is one of the most practical ethical hand-books of Buddhism. It is included in the canon of Buddhistic Scriptures, and is one of the Eastern books which can be read with delight to-day by those who are classed as general readers. It is divided into twenty-six chapters, and the keynote of it is struck by the sentence `The virtuous man is happy in this world, and he is happy in the next he is happy in both. He is happy when he thinks of the good he has done he is still more happy when going on the good path.` The first step in the `good path` is earnestness, for as the writer says, `Earnestness is the path of immortality (Nirvana), thoughtlessness the path of death those who are in earnest do not die, those who are thoughtless are as if dead already.` Earnestness, in this connection, evidently means the power of reflection, and of abstracting the mind from mundane things. There is something very inspiring in the sentence, `When the learned man drives away vanity by earnestness, he, the wise, climbing the terraced heights of wisdom, looks down upon the fools: free from sorrow he looks upon the sorrowing crowd, as one that stands on a mountain looks down upon them that stand upon the plain.` This reminds us of Lucretius, `How sweet to stand, when tempests tear the main, On the firm cliff, and mark the seaman`s toil! Not that another`s danger soothes the soul, But from such toil how sweet to feel secure! How sweet, at distance from the strife, to view Contending hosts, and hear the clash of war! But sweeter far on Wisdom`s height serene, Upheld by Truth, to fix our firm abode To watch the giddy crowd that, deep below, Forever wander in pursuit of bliss To mark the strife for honors, and renown, For wit and wealth, insatiate, ceaseless urged, Day after day, with labor unrestrained.`, Englisch, Ebook.
