The Highest Joy

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

Being full in terms of physical sensations – Sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings – is to be full of worldly food; but being filled with the highest joy – which comes from a peaceful mind free from the disturbance of sense-objects – is to be full of the food of the Dhamma.
