Via Buddhism on Beliefnet:
Daily Buddhist Wisdom
They go to many a refuge,
To mountains, forests,
Parks, trees, & shrines:
People threatened with danger.
That's not the secure refuge,
Not the supreme refuge,
That's not the refuge,
Having gone to which
You gain release
From all suffering & stress.
- Dhammapada, 14, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
