You Are the Way


You are the Way;
you are the light;
where else could you look?
Take care and attend to your journey.

---The Buddha, in The Dhammapada, verse 380---

Note: The translation of this verse by Venerable Sri Acharya Buddharakkhita reads:

One is one's own protector,
one is one's own refuge.
Therefore, one should control oneself,
even as the trader controls
a noble steed.
