Castles Made of Sand
Perhaps you will go to the beach sometime this summer and have a chance to watch children at play in the sand. How engrossed they can get in their projects! When building a sand castle, nothing in the world seems more important than shaping it, embellishing it, and protecting it from the encroaching sea or from other children who might threaten it.

That may be why it’s so easy to overlook the importance of what the Buddha did right before saying them.
