This being is bound to samsara, kamma is his means for going beyond. -- SN I, 38.

Happy Birthday!!!
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.

Happy birthday, Ben. May this be a year of peace and prosperity. And body joints that still function like a young man's.
"As I am, so are others;
as others are, so am I."
Having thus identified self and others,
harm no one nor have them harmed.

Happy Birthday, Ben! :smile:

Here is a present. I hope you enjoy:

"Happy Birthday to me, Happy birthday to me. Poor fellow, he doesn't realise he is one step closer to his grave!"
Paraphrased from Goenkaji, because I couldn't find the quote online anywhere.
And Happy Birthday!
Then,
saturated with joy,
you will put an end to suffering and stress.
