As this is, so is that; as that is, so is this. As below, so above; as above, so below. As by day, so by night; as by night, so by day. As before, so behind; as behind, so before. Even the music of a five-piece band can never give such pleasure as when, with unified mind, you rightly discern the Dhamma.","title":"Kulla","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":119}
