Verse from the Khuddaka
To many places beings withdraw
to escape from fear:
to mountains, forests,
parklands and gardens;
sacred places as well.
But none of these places
offer true refuge,
none of them can free us from fear.
to escape from fear:
to mountains, forests,

But none of these places
offer true refuge,
none of them can free us from fear.
