Via Buddhism on Beliefnet:


Daily Buddhist Wisdom






Neither nakedness nor matted hair nor mud nor the refusal of food nor sleeping on the bare ground nor dust & dirt nor squatting austerities cleanses the mortal who's not gone beyond doubt. If, though adorned, one lives in tune with the chaste life --calmed, tamed & assured-- having put down the rod toward all beings, he's a contemplative a brahmin a monk.
- Dhammapada, 10, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
