All suffering, without exception,

arises out of desire for one’s own happiness.

Be kind to this recognition,

as it is only a pattern of behaviour we have got used to.

. 

This only happens because we did not recognise

what we were doing.

Be kind to this recognition,

for we knew not what we did.

. 

Desire for one’s own happiness,

is within everyone.

Be kind to this recognition,

for they know not what they do.

Not knowing is being stuck in the mud.

Knowing is recognising the mud.

Be kind to this recognition,

by not clinging to it.

 .

Stay mudless!
