No Fire Like Desire

Four verses from The Dharmapada – the words of the Buddha and spoken in the Jetavavana Grove – translate as:

‘There is no fire like desire,
no monster like hatred.
There is no net like delusion,
no raging river like craving.‘

།འདོད་ཆགས་འདྲ་བའི་མེ་མེད་དེ།

།ཁྲོ་བ་ལྟ་བུའི་ཆུ་སྲིན་མེད།

།རྨོངས་པ་འདྲ་བའི་དྲྭ་བ་མེད།

།སྲེད་པ་འདྲ་བའི་ཆུ་ཀླུང་མེད།།

Illustrated with the artists vision of a fire breathing demon in frustration of inadequately catching water with a net.
