On the afternoon of July 4th, 2024, Junior Thich Tam Cung - Monks of Hoang Phap Pagoda had a summary lecture of Dhammapada Sutra for monks and Buddhists during the rain season retreat.
The monk explained six poems from No 296 to 301 which belongs to the chapter of miscellaneous verses:
By the story "The Boy and the Devil", Buddha stated six verses:
296.
"Well awakened, they're awake
ever the Buddha's pupils
who constantly by day, by night
are mindful of the Buddha.”
297.
“Well awakened, they're awake
ever the Buddha's pupils
who constantly by day, by night
are mindful of the Dhamma.”
298.
“Well awakened, they're awake
ever the Buddha's pupils
who constantly by day, by night
are mindful of the Sangha.”
299.
“Well awakened, they're awake
ever the Buddha's pupils
who constantly by day, by night
are mindful of the body.”
300.
“Well awakened, they're awake
ever the Buddha's pupils
who constantly by day, by night
in harmless delight.”
301.
“Well awakened, they're awake
ever the Buddha's pupils
who constantly by day, by night
in meditation take delight.”
The Buddha taught that a true Buddhist who deeply practices meditation on one of the six topics will have peace and joy within himself without needing any protection, any support method, or medicine.
