Via Buddhism on Beliefnet:
Daily Buddhist Wisdom
He has made his way past
this hard-going path
--samsara, delusion--
has crossed over,
has gone beyond,
is free from want,
from perplexity,
absorbed in jhana,
through no-clinging
Unbound:
he's what I call
a brahmin.
- Dhammapada, 26, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
