25: The Chapter about Monastics – 305<br />

Find pleasure in the <strong>Dhamma</strong><br />

When Ven. Dhammārāma heard the Buddha declare his<br />

intention to finally pass away in four months time, rather than<br />

attend on the Buddha, he went to the forest to practice the<br />

teaching; the Buddha lauded him and said this is how one<br />

truly honours him, and spoke this verse.<br />

364. Dhammārāmo <strong>Dhamma</strong>rato, <strong>Dhamma</strong>ṁ anuvicintayaṁ,<br />

<strong>Dhamma</strong>ṁ anussaraṁ bhikkhu, Saddhammā na parihāyati.<br />

The one who finds pleasure in the <strong>Dhamma</strong>,<br />

delights in <strong>Dhamma</strong>, reflects on <strong>Dhamma</strong>,<br />

the monastic who remembers <strong>Dhamma</strong>,<br />

does not then abandon the Good <strong>Dhamma</strong>.
