Happy is the unity of the Sangha. Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
Win over the ill-natured man by goodness…Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
An ignorant man committing evil deeds does not realise the consequences. The imprudent man is consumed by his own deeds, like one burnt by fire.
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
Hatred never ceases through hatred in this world; through love alone they cease. This is an eternal law.
Let us live happily, we who have no impediments. We shall subsist on joy even as the radiant gods.
For him who has completed the journey, for him who is sorrowless, for him who from everything is wholly free, for him who has destroyed all ties, the fever of passion exists not… He is like a pool, unsullied by mud; to such a balanced one, life’s wanderings do not arise. Calm is his mind, calm is his speech, calm is his action, who, rightly knowing, is wholly freed, perfectly peaceful and equipoised.
A solid rock is not disturbed by the wind; even so, a wise person is not agitated by praise or blame.
Make haste in doing good; check your mind from evil; for the mind of him who is slow in doing meritorious actions delights in evil.
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in no attachment.
