Buddhist Inspiration ..

Hundreds of stupid flies gather
On a piece of rotten meat,
Enjoying, they think, a delicious feast.
This image fits with the song
Of the myriads of foolish living beings
Who seek happiness in superficial pleasures;
In countless ways they try,
Yet I have never seen them satisfied.
-- 7th Dalai Lama from 'Songs of spiritual change' translated by Glenn Mullin --
