Images from The Dhammapada In reading The Dhammapada, I noticed that there were a lot of analogies used to describe human life. For this paper I decided to look at some of the analogies that talk about the negative conditions of life. My favorite quotation from The Dhammapada is number 8 on page 34, the section titled "Evil" "Don't underestimate evil, saying, 'It can't happen to me.' As a pot slowly fills up with water, drop by drop, So does the fool, little by little, Become full of evil." I like this proverb the best, because it is very simple to understand and
