Are you ready?

Sujata ~ Born at the Right Time

The day began just like any other.

We dressed, ate breakfast, and went to the park.

As we were passing the Anjana Woods,

I remember someone saying,

Let's go see the monastery.

We pushed open the door

and there he was.

How did I know?

It was the eyes.

I sat down,

and the Buddha taught me the Dharma.

You there.

Be ready.

Does today feel

just like any other day?
