the Dhammapada the

sayings

of the Buddha translated by F max Miller and narrated by Robin Homer chapter one the twin verses everything we are is the result of what we have thought is based on our thoughts is formed by our thoughts if a man speaks or acts with bad thoughts pain follows it like the wheels follow the foot of the Ox that pulls the chariot everything we are is the result of what we have thought is based on our thoughts it is made of our thoughts if a man speaks or acts with a thought pure happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him he abused me he beat me he defeated me he robbed me of those who harbor such thoughts hatred never ceases he abused me he beat me he defeated me he robbed me of those who do not harbor such thoughts hatred will cease for hate does not cease for hate at any time hate ceases for love this is an old rule the world does not know that we must all come to an end here but those who know if their quarrels cease immediately those who live seeking pleasures only his sense is uncontrolled in moderate in his food idle and weak mara the tempter will certainly cut him down like the wind knocks down a weak tree he who lives without seeking pleasure his senses well - controlled moderate in his food faithful and strong to him Mara certainly will not He will knock down more than the wind throws down a rocky mountain whoever wants to put on the yellow dress without having been cleansed from sin.

He who despises temperance and truth is unworthy of the yellow dress, but he who has cleansed himself from sin is well grounded in all the virtues and also respects temperance and truth, he is truly worthy of dressing. Those who imagine the truth in a lie and see falsehood in the truth never arrive at the truth, but follow vain desires. Those who know. truth in truth and falsehood in falsehood arrive at the truth and follow true desires as rain passes through a poorly thatched house passion will pass through a thoughtless mind as rain does not pass through a well-revised house passion will not pass through a well-reflective mind the evildoer cries in this world and cries in the next he cries in both he cries and suffers when he sees the evil of his own work the virtuous man delights in this world and delights in the next he delights in both he delights and he rejoices when he sees the purity of his own work the evildoer suffers in this world and suffers in the other he suffers in both he suffers when he thinks of the evil he has done he suffers more when he goes down the wrong path the virtuous man is happy in this world and is happy in the next he is happy in both he is happy when he thinks of the good he has done he is even happier when he is on the right path the thoughtless man even if he can recite a large part of the law but he is not a doer of it he has no participation in the priesthood but is like a cowherd who counts the cows of others.

The follower of the law even if he can recite only a small portion of it but having abandoned passion, hatred and foolishness, he possesses true knowledge and serenity. mental he does not care about anything in this world everything that is to come certainly has a share in the priesthood chapter 2 on seriousness seriousness is the path of immortality nirvana thoughtlessness the path of death those who are serious do not those who are thoughtless die, those who have advanced in seriousness, having clearly understood this, delight in seriousness and rejoice in the knowledge of the Aryans, the elect, these constant meditative sages, always possessed of strong powers, attain Nirvana, die, are as if they were already dead. highest happiness if a serious person has awakened if he is not forgetful if his deeds are pure if he acts thoughtfully if he restrains himself and lives according to the law then his glory will increase by waking up seriously with moderation and control the wise man can become an island that no flood can overwhelm fools follow vanity men of evil wisdom the wise man maintains seriousness as his best jewel they do not follow vanity nor the enjoyment of love and lust he who is serious and meditative obtains ample joy when the wise man drives away vanity with seriousness, he, the wise man who climbs the heights of wisdom, looks down on fools.

Serenely he looks at the working crowd as one standing on a mountain, he looks down on those who stand on the plain, serious among the thoughtless, awake among the sleepers, the wise man. He advances like a runner who leaves behind out of seriousness. McGavin Indra ascended to the lordship of the gods. People praised the seriousness. Thoughtlessness is always blamed. A big-shoe beggar who delights in seriousness. Who looks with fear at thoughtlessness. He moves around a light fire burning all the shackles off of him. or great mendicant bhikshu - delights in reflection he who looks with fear at thoughtlessness cannot stray from his perfect state he is close to nirvana chapter 3 thought like a Fletcher straightens his arrow a wise man straightens his trembling and unstable thought that is difficult to guard difficult to contain like a fish taken from its aquatic home and thrown onto dry land our thoughts tremble everywhere to escape the Dominion of Mara the tempter it is good to tame the mind that is difficult to retain and fickle that runs wherever it listens to a tamed mind brings happiness that the wise man guards his thoughts because they are difficult to perceive very cunning and rush wherever they list well-kept thoughts bring happiness those who slow down his mind that travels far moves alone it has no body and hides in the chamber of the heart it will be free from the bonds of Mara the tempter if a man's thoughts are unstable if he does not know the true law if his peace of mind is disturbed his knowledge will never be perfect if a man's thoughts are not dispelled if his mind is not perplexed if he has left to think about good or evil then there is no fear for him as long as he is vigilant knowing that this body is fragile like a jar and making this thought firm like a fortress he must attack Mara the tempter with the weapon of knowledge one must observe him when it is conquered and must never rest before long, alas, this body will lie on the earth despised without understanding like a useless log what a hater can do to a hater nor an enemy to an enemy a misdirected mind will do us greater harm nor a mother nor a father will do as much nor will any other relative a well-directed mind will do us greater service chapter 4 flowers that will conquer this earth and the world of Yama the Lord of the deceased and the world of the Gods who will discover the path of virtue clearly shown as an intelligent man discovers through the correct flower the disciple will conquer the earth and the world of Yama and the world of the gods the disciple will find the path of virtue clearly shown as an intelligent man discovers the correct flower, he who knows that this body is like foam and has learned that it is as insubstantial as a mirage he will break the flower with the pointed arrow of Mara and he will never see the king of death, death takes away a man who is picking flowers and whose mind is distracted As a flood carries away a sleeping town, death subdues a man who is collecting flowers and whose mind is distracted before he is satisfied with his pleasures, just as a bee collects nectar and leaves without damaging the flower or its color or smell, so let Let the wise man dwell in his village not the perversities of others, nor their sins of commission or omission, but his own misdeeds and negligence, 'as if a wise man noticed it, like a beautiful flower full of color but without aroma, They are the fine flowers but fruitless words of him who does not act accordingly but like a beautiful flower full of color and full of aroma, they are the fine and fruitful words of him who acts accordingly, as many kinds of crowns can be made from a lots of flowers, so many good things can be done. be reached by a mortal when once the sense of flowers is born it does not travel against the winds nor the sandalwood door of togoro and Malecha flowers but the smell of good people travels even against victory a good man permeates every place sandalwood Otto Gaara, a lotus flower or a Vasuki, among this type of perfume, the perfume of virtue is unsurpassed.

The medium is the meaning that comes from Sagara and sandalwood. The perfume of one who possesses virtue rises to the gods as the highest of people. who possess these virtues that live without thoughts and are emancipated through true knowledge mar the tempter never finds the way as in a heap of garbage thrown on the road the lily will grow full of sweet perfume and delight thus the truly enlightened disciple of the Buddha shines for his knowledge among those who are like rubbish among the people who walk in darkness chapter 5 the fool long is the night for him who is awake long is a mile for him who is tired long is life for fools who do not know the true law if a traveler does not meet someone who is his best or his equal who firmly follows his lonely journey there is no company with a fool these children belong to me and this wealth belongs to me with such thoughts a fool torments himself they do not belong to himself how much less suns and riches the fool who knows his foolishness is wise at least until now but a fool who thinks he is wise is a fool in truth if a fool associates with a wise man even throughout his life he will perceive the truth as little like a spoon perceives the flavor of the soup.

If an intelligent man associates just for a minute with a wise man, he will soon perceive the truth as the tongue perceives the taste of soup. Fools of little understanding have themselves as their greatest enemies before. they do bad actions that must bear bitter fruits that action is not well done of which the man must repent and the reward of which he receives crying and with a tearful face he knows that the action is well done of which the man does not repent and the reward which he receives with pleasure and joy as long as the bad action does not bear fruit the fool thinks it is like honey but when it matures then the fool suffers sorrow that a fool eats his food month after month like an ascetic with the tip of a blade of kusa grass, however, is not worth even the sixteenth particle of those who have well weighed the law and evil deeds as freshly drawn milk does not suddenly become burning like a fire covered in ashes, it follows the fool and when the evil deed after having become known brings pain to the fool then destroys his brilliant slot in fact, it breaks his head that the fool desires a false reputation for precedence among the bed shoes for the lordship in the convents for worship among other people, which both the layman As the one who has left the world thinks that I do this, let them submit to me in everything that should be done or not done, that is the mind of the fool and his desire and pride increase, one is the path that leads to wealth. another the path that leads to Nirvana if the big shoe the disciple of Buddha has learned this he will not crave honor he will strive to separate himself from the world chapter 6 the wise man or panditah if you see an intelligent man who tells you where the true treasures are there are that finding someone who will show you what should be avoided and administer rebukes to you, follow that wise man, it will be better, not worse, for those who follow him, let him admonish, let him teach, let him prohibit what is improper, he will be loved for the goods of the wicked, he will be hated, do not be afraid.

Friends with evildoers Do not have low people as friends Have virtuous people as friends Have the best of men as friends He who drinks in the law lives happily with a serene mind The wise man always rejoices in the law as the elect preach it. areas that make wells carry water wherever they want Fletcher's curves arrows carpenters bend a large amount of wood wise men shape themselves a solid rock is not shaken by the wind wise men do not waver in the midst of guilt and They praise the wise After he has heard the laws He becomes serene like a deep lake, smooth and calm Good people walk on what happens Good things do not chatter Longing for pleasure Whether touched by happiness or pain Wise people never they seem elated or depressed whether for their own sake or for the For the sake of others a man does not desire a child or wealth or lordship and if he does not desire his own success by unjust means then he is good, wise and virtuous.

There are few among men who reach the other shore and become our hats. The other people here run from one side of the shore to the other, but those to whom the law has been well preached, follow it, will cross the Domain of death, no matter how difficult it is to overcome, a wise man must abandon the dark state of ordinary life and follow the bright state the big shoe after passing from his home to a homeless state should in his retirement seek enjoyment where there seemed to be no enjoyment leaving behind all pleasures and calling his own the wise man should purge himself of all the problems of the mind those whose mind is well grounded in the seven elements of knowledge who without clinging to anything rejoice in the freedom from attachments whose appetites have been conquered and who are full of light are free even in this world chapter seven the venerable or our hats there is no suffering for him who has finished his journey and abandoned the pain who has been released everywhere and has gotten rid of all the chains they leave with their thoughts well collected they are not happy in their home like swans who have abandoned their lake they abandon their house and their homemen who have no wealth who live on recognized food who have perceived the emptiness and unconditioned freedom of Nirvana their path is difficult to understand like that of the birds in the air he whose appetites are calm who is not absorbed in the enjoyment he has perceived the emptiness and unconditional freedom of Nirvana his path is difficult to understand like that of the birds in the air the gods even envied him who feels like horses well tamed by the driver have been subdued who is free of pride and free of appetites that who does his thing duty is tolerance like the earth like the screws of Indras he is like a lake without mud there are no new births reserved for him his thought is calm his word and his actions are silent when he has obtained freedom through true knowledge when he has thus become a tranquil man the man who is free from credulity but knows the uncreated who has cut off all ties eliminated all temptations renounced all desires is the greatest of men in a village or in a forest or in the deep waters on dry land wherever venerable people are well hunted that place is delicious the forests are delicious where the world finds no delight there the will without passion finds delight because they do not seek pleasures chapter 8 the thousands although a speech is a thousand words but is composed of meaningless words a meaningful word is It is better than if a man remains silent even though Agatha's poem has a thousand words but is composed of meaningless words.

One word from Agatha is better than if a man remains silent even if a man recites a hundred gatha composed of meaningless words. A word of the law is better than if a man hears it, he remains silent. If a man conquers a thousand times thousands of men in battle, and if another conquers himself, he is the greatest conqueror of oneself. Concord is better than all other people, not even a God, a weapon, Port, not Mara, with Brahman, could turn into defeat the victory of a man who has defeated himself and always lives restricted, if a man for a hundred years sacrificed month after month with thousand and if for a moment I pay homage to a man whose soul is based on true knowledge, that homage is better than sacrifice for a hundred years if a man for a hundred years worships the fire Agni in the forest and if for a moment he pays homage to a man whose soul is based on true knowledge.

It is better to know that tribute than to sacrifice for a hundred years what a man sacrifices in this world as an offering or as ablation for an entire year to gain merits, all of this is not worth a cent, the reverence shown to the righteous is better. he who always greets and constantly reveres the old man for things will increase his life beauty happiness power but he who lives a hundred years vicious and unrestrained a life of one day is better if a man is virtuous and thoughtful and he who lives a hundred years ignorant and unrestrained is better a life of one day if a man is wise and thoughtful and he who lives a hundred years idle and weak is better a life of one day if a man has achieved firm strength and he who lives a hundred years without seeing beginning and end a A day's life is better if a man sees the beginning and the end and he who lives a hundred years without seeing the immortal place A one day's life is better if a man sees the immortal place and he who lives a hundred years without seeing the law supreme a life of one day is better if a man sees the supreme law chapter nine evil if a man hastens towards good he should keep his thoughts away from evil if a man does good lazy II his mind delights in evil, if a man commits a sin, let him not do it again, let him not delight in sin, pain is the result of evil, if a man does good, let him do it again, let him delight in it, happiness It is the result of good, even an evildoer sees happiness as long as his bad deed has not matured but when his bad deed has matured then the evildoer sees evil even a good man sees bad days as long as his good deed has not matured but when his good action has matured then Does the good man see happy days?

Let no man think lightly of evil, saying in his heart that he will not approach me even with the fall of drops of water. A jug is filled with water. The fool is filled with evil even though he picks it up little by little. A little less, no one thinks lightly of good, saying in their heart it will not reach me. Not even with the fall of drops of water, a pitcher is filled with water. The wise man is filled with good, even if he collects it little by little. avoid bad actions as a merchant if you have few companions and carry a lot of wealth avoid a dangerous path like a man who loves life avoids poison he who does not have wounds on his hands can touch the poison with his hands the poison does not affect those who do not have injury nor Is there harm for someone who commits no harm if a man offends a harmless, pure, and innocent person?

Evil falls on that fool like light dust thrown against the wind. Some people are born again. Evildoers go to hell. The righteous go to heaven. Those who are free from all worldly desires attain nirvana not in the sky nor in the middle of the sea nor if we enter the crevices of mountains. Is there a place known in all the world where a man could be freed from an evil deed not in the heaven not in the middle of the sea nor if we enter the crevices of the mountains is there known a place in the entire world where death could not defeat the mortal chapter ten punishments all men tremble before the punishment all men fear death remember that You are like them and do not kill or massacre all men tremble before punishment all men love life remember that you are like them and do not kill or massacre he who seeks his own happiness punishes or kills beings who also longed for happiness he cannot find happiness after death he who seeks his own happiness does not punish or kill beings who also longed for happiness will find happiness after death do not speak harshly to anyone those to whom you speak will respond in the same way the speech angry are painful blows to The blows will touch you if, like a shattered metal gong, you tie knots, then you have achieved Nirvana.

The strife is not known to you, as a cowherd with his staff leads his cows to the stable, so age and death guide the lives of men, not a fool. knows when he commits his evil deeds but the evil man burns by his own actions as if burned by fire he who inflicts pain on innocent and harmless people will soon reach one of these ten states he will have cruel suffering loss heavy bodily injury affliction or loss of mind or a misfortune coming from the king or a terrible accusation or loss of relationships or destruction of treasures or a lightning bolt of fire will burn their houses and when his body is destroyed the fool will go to hell not nakedness or braided hair not dirt not fasting Not even lying on the ground, not rubbing with dust, not sitting still, can purify a mortal who has not overcome his desires, one who, although dressed in fine clothing, exercises tranquility, is calm, subdued, restricted, persecuted, and has stopped finding defects in all things. other beings, he is actually a brahmana a sramana ascetic a monk bhikshu is in this world any man so restrained by humility that he does not care about rebuke like a well-trained horse the whip like a well-trained horse when touched across the width bu active and lively and by faith in virtue, with energy, with meditation, with discernment of the law, you will overcome this great pain of rebuke, perfect in knowledge and behavior, and never forgetful, the well makers carry water wherever they want .

Fletcher bends, arrow carpenters bend a log of wood, good people formed themselves. chapter 11 old age what is his laughter what is his joy or is this world always burning why do you not seek alliance you who are surrounded by darkness look at this disguised lump covered with wounds joined together sickly full of many thoughts that has no strength there is no support this body is waste full of disease and fragile this heap of corruption breaks into pieces life certainly ends in death those white bones those pumpkins lying in autumn what pleasure there is in looking at them after a fortress has been made of the bones it is covered in flesh and blood and in it live old age and death, pride and deceit, the shining chariots of Kings are destroyed, the body also approaches destruction, but the virtue of good people never approaches destruction, so to the good, tell the good, seeking. the creator of this Tabernacle I will have to go through a cycle of many births until I find it and the birth is painful again and again, but now creator of the tabernacle, you have been seen, you will not make this Tabernacle again with all the beams. the crest is broken the mind is broken the eternal Sankara is approached nirvana has attained the extinction of all desires men who have not observed proper discipline and have not gained treasures in their youth perish like old herons in a fishless lake men who have not observed proper discipline and have not gained treasures in their youth lie like broken bows sighing after the last chapter 12 I If a man esteems himself, let him watch himself carefully during at least one of the three watches, a wise man must be attentive, that each man direct himself first to what is appropriate and then let him teach others, so a wise man will not suffer if a man does to himself as he teaches others, then, being himself well subdued, he can subdue others.

Lord of oneself, who else could be Lord with oneself well controlled? A man finds a Lord like Fugue and finds evil done by oneself, engendered by oneself, crushes fools as a diamond breaks a precious stone, he whose evil is too great brings upon himself. to the state in which his enemy wants him to be, as the vine does with the tree it surrounds. Bad actions and actions harmful to ourselves are easy to do, which is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do for the fool who despises the rule. of the venerable our heart of the chosen zone of the virtuous and follows false doctrines bears fruit for its own destruction like the fruits of the kataka read by oneself evil is done by oneself one suffers alone evil one leaves it oneself is purified purity and impurity belong to oneself no one can purify another letter no one forgets his own duty for the good of others however the degrees that a man after having discerned his own duty be always attentive to his duty chapter 13 the world does not follow the law of evil do not live in thoughtlessness do not follow false doctrine do not be a friend of the world wake up do not be idle follow the law of virtue the virtuous rest in bliss in this world and in the next follow the law of virtue do not follow sin The virtuous rests in bliss in this world and in the next he looks at the world like a bubble look at it like a mirage the king of death does not see the one who looks at the world like this come look at this shining world like a royal chariot the fools are immersed in it but the wise do not touch it he who was once reckless and then became sober illuminates this world like the moon when it is freed from the clouds he whose bad deeds are covered by good deeds illuminates above in this world like the moon when it is free from the clouds this world is dark only few can see here only a few go to heaven like birds escaped from the net the swans follow the path of the sun they cross the ether through their miraculous power the wise men are taken out of this world when They have conquered Mara and her retinue.

If a man has transgressed a law and tells lies and mocks another world, there is no evil that he will not do. The uncharitable do not go to the world of only foolish gods. They do not praise liberality. A wise man will rejoices in liberality and through it becomes blessed in the next world better than sovereignty over the earth better than going to heaven better than lordship over all worlds is the reward of the first step in holiness chapter 14 the Buddha the awakened one whose conquest is not conquered again whose conquest no one in this world enters, by what path can you lead him who awakens the omniscient the pathless one whom no desire with its traps and poisons can deviate by what path can you lead him? guides the awakened the omniscient the traceless even the gods envy those who are awake and not forgetful who are given to meditation who are wise and who delight in the repose of withdrawal from the world difficult to obtain is the conception of men difficult is the life of mortals difficult is hearing the true law difficult is the birth of the awakened the attainment of Buddhahood not to commit any sin to do good and purify the mind that is the teaching of all the awakened the awakened call to the patience the highest penance suffered the highest Nirvana because he is not a prageeta anchorite who beats others he is not an ascetic sramana who insults others not to be guilty not to hit live restricted under the law be moderate in eating sleep and sit alone and dwell in the highest thoughts this is the teaching of the awakened there are no lusts that satisfy even with a shower of gold coins he who knows that lusts have a short taste and cause pain is wise even in heavenly pleasures he does not find satisfaction thedisciple that is Fully awakened men delight only in the destruction of all desires.

Men driven by fear go to many refuges, to mountains and forests, to groves and sacred trees, but that is not a safe refuge. It's not the best shelter. A man is not freed from all pain afterwards. having gone to that refuge, he who takes refuge in Buddha, the law and the church, he who with clear understanding sees the four holy truths, pain, the origin of pain, the destruction of pain and the Holy Eightfold Path that leads to the stilling of pain, which is security. refuge which is the best refuge having gone to that refuge a man is freed from all pain a supernatural person a

is not easily found he is not born everywhere wherever such a sage is born that prosperous race happy is the emergence of the awakened happy is the teaching of the true law happy is peace in the church happy is the devotion of those who are at peace he who pays homage to those who deserve homage whether it be the awakened Buddha or his disciples those who have conquered the hosts of evils and crossed the flood of pain he who pays homage to such as a liberation found and knows no fear his merit can never be measured by anyone chapter fifteen happiness let us live happily then let us not hate those who hate us among the men who hate us let us live free from hate let us live happy then free from ailments among men who are sick let us live free from ailments let us live happily then free from greed among the greedy among greedy men let us live free from greed let us live happy then although we call nothing our own we will be like the shining gods who feed on the happiness victory breeds hatred towards the conquered is unhappy he who has renounced both victories ends in defeat he is happy he is happy there is no fire like passion there there is no missed shot like hatred there is no pain like this body there is no happiness anymore high than rest hunger is the worst of illnesses the body is the greatest of pains if one knows this truly that is nirvana the greatest happiness health is the greatest of gifts satisfaction the best of riches Confidence is the best of the relationships nirvana the highest happiness he who has tasted the sweetness of solitude and tranquility is free from fear and free from sin while he tastes the sweetness of drinking in the law the sight of the chosen ones areia is good to live with them always is happiness if a man does not see fools he will be truly happy he who walks in the company of fools suffers a long journey the company of fools as if it were an enemy is always painful the company of the wise is a pleasure like meeting relatives therefore one must follow the wise the intelligence the wise the long-suffering the obedient the chosen one must follow the good and wise man as the moon follows the path of the stars chapter 16 pleasure he who gives himself over to vanity and does not give himself He gives himself over to meditation forgetting the true goal of life and clinging to pleasure, in time he will envy the one who has put effort into meditation.

No man will ever look for what is pleasant or what is unpleasant so as not to see what is pleasant is pain and it is pain look at what is unpleasant, let no one love anything the loss of the loved one is bad those who love nothing and confuse nothing they have no shackles of pleasure comes pain from pleasure comes fear he who is free from pleasure knows neither pain nor fear from affection comes pain from affection comes fear he who is free from affection knows neither pain nor fear from lust comes the pain of lust comes fear he who is free from lust does not know the pain or fear of love arises the pain of love comes fear he who is free from love does not know the pain or fear of Greed comes shortly from greed comes fear He who is free from greed knows neither pain nor fear He who possesses virtue and intelligence He who is just He who tells the truth and does what is good for him The world will appreciate that in whom a desire for the ineffable Nirvana has arisen who is satisfied in his mind and whose thoughts are not bewildered by love he is cold wood Ram Stratos carried upward by the current relatives friends and lovers greet a man who has been away for 17 anger, that a man Let him abandon anger, let him abandon pride, let him overcome all Bondi, no suffering will come to him. the man who is not attached to name or form and who considers nothing his own who holds back rising anger like a rolling chariot I call him a true driver other people try to hold the reins let a man overcome anger with the love that overcomes evil with good let it overcome the greedy by liberality the liar by the truth tell the truth do not give in to anger give if they ask you little for these three steps you will get closer to the gods the wise ones who drive Oh friend and always control their body they will go to the immutable place of Nirvana, where if they have gone they will no longer suffer.

Those who are always attentive, who study day and night and who strive to reach Nirvana, their passions will come to an end. This is an old saying, go to Allah, this is not just for today they blame the one who sits silent they blame the one who talks a lot they also blame the one who says little there is no one on earth who is not blamed there never was there will never be nor There is now a man who is always blamed or a man who is always praised but the one whom those who discriminate continually praise day after day as a blameless sage rich in knowledge and virtue who dared to blame him like a coin made of gold from the shrimp river even the gods praised him he is praised even by Brahman beware of bodily anger and control your body leave the sins of the body and with your body practice virtue beware of the anger of the tongue you can control that Ungh leaves the sins of the tongue and practice virtue be careful with the anger of the mind and control your mind leave the sins of the mind and practice virtue with your mind the wise men who control their body who control their tongue those who control their mind are really well controlled chapter 18 impurity now you are like a seer Read the messengers of death Yama has come to you you are at the door of your departure and you have no provisions for your journey make yourself an island work hard be wise when your impurities are swept away and you are free from guilt you will enter In the heavenly world of the chosen areia your life has come to an end you are close to death there is no resting place for him on the way and you have no provisions for your journey make yourself an island work hard be wise when your impurities are eliminated and Be free from guilt, you will not enter birth and decay again, let a wise man remove impurities from himself like a blacksmith removes impurities from silver, one by one, little by little and from time to time, as the impurity that springs from the iron when it Arises from it, destroys it, therefore the transgressor's own works lead him astray.

The stain of prayers is non-repetition. The stain on the houses is not repaired. The stain of the body is laziness. The stain of a watchman. The lack of consideration. Bad behavior is a woman's stains. greed the stain of a benefactor all the evil ways in this world and the next are contaminated but there is one stain worse than all stains ignorance is the biggest stain of the mendicants get rid of that stain and become painless life is easy to live for a man who is shamelessly a crow hero a forger an insulting, bold and miserable guy but life is difficult to live for a modest man who always seeks the pure, who is selfless, calm, impeccable and intelligent, the who destroys life, he who tells lies, he who in this world takes what is not given to him, he who goes to another's wife and the man who indulges in drinking intoxicating liquors, even in this world he unearths his own root oh man not this that the unbridled are in a bad state beware of greed and vice do not afflict you for long the world gives according to its faith or according to its pleasure if a man cares about the food and drink given to others he will not find rest neither day nor night he in whom that feeling is destroyed and uprooted from the root finds rest day and night there is no fire like passion there is no shark like hate there is no trap like madness there is no torrent like covet the fault of others is easily perceived but that of oneself is difficult to perceive a man throws away the faults of his neighbor like chaff but hides his own fault like a cheater hides the evil given to the player if the man takes care of the faults of others others and is always inclined to be offended by his own passions he will grow and be far from the destruction of passions there is no path through the air a man is not a samana by external acts the world delights in vanity the tathagatas the Buddhas are free from vanity there is no path through the air a man is not even a samana by external acts no creature is eternal but the awakened Buddha is never shaken 2:19 the righteous a man is not righteous if he conducts a matter by violence no He who distinguishes between good and evil, who is instructed and guides others not by violence but by law and equity, and he who is kept by the law and intelligent is called righteous.

s of the tathagata are only preachers the thoughtful ones who enter the path are freed from the bondage of Mara all created things perish he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain this is the path to purity all created things are sorrow and pain he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain this is the path that leads to purity all forms are unreal he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain this is the path that leads to purity he who does not wake up when the time comes rise up even if he is young and strong is full of lazy people whose will and thought are weak that is lazy and idle man will never find the way to knowledge taking care of his speech well contained in the mind that a man never commits any wrong with his body that a man maintain Clear these three paths of action and you will reach the path that the wise teach through zeal.

Knowledge is obtained through lack of zeal. Knowledge is lost. Let a man who knows this double path of gain and loss place himself so that knowledge may grow. Cut down the entire forest of lust, it is not a tree, only danger arises from the forest of lust, when you have cut down both the forest and its undergrowth, then the shoes you will be free from the forest and you will be free as long as man's love for him lasts. the woman. Even the smallest is not destroyed as long as his mind remains enslaved as the calf that drinks milk is to its mother cut off self-love like an autumn lotus with your hand cherish the path of peace Nirvana has been shown by Sugata Buddha here .

He will dwell here in the rain in winter and summer so The Fool meditates and does not think about his death. Death comes and takes away that man praised by his children and comes with his distracted mind like a flood takes away a man. townasleep children are not health neither a father nor relatives there is no help from relatives for him whom death has taken possession of a wise and good man who knows the meaning of this must quickly clear the path that leads to nirvana through the zeal, knowledge is obtained through lack of zeal, knowledge is lost.

A man who knows this double path of gain and loss, positions himself like this so that knowledge can grow, cuts down the entire forest of lust, not just one tree, danger comes out of the forest of lust when the forest has been cut down so much. like its weeds, then it is big. shoes, you will be free from the forest and you will be free as long as man's love for women, even the smallest, is not destroyed, as long as his enslaved mind like the calf that drinks milk is for its mother, cuts off his love for himself like a Autumn Lotus with your hand caress the path of peace Nirvana has been shown by Sugata Buddha chapter 21 miscellaneous if in leaving a small pleasure one sees a great pleasure, let a wise man leave the small pleasure and look towards the great one who at the same time cause pain to others wish to obtain pleasure for themselves is entangled in the bonds of hatred will never be free from hatred what should be done is neglected what should not be done is made that their eyes of rebellious and thoughtless people are always increasing but they whose entire vigilance is always directed at his body those who do not follow what should not be done and those who firmly do what should be done the desires of such vigilant and wise people will come to an end a true brahmana is less irritated even though he has killed his father and mother and two brave kings, even if he has destroyed a kingdom with all its subjects, a true brahmana goes scalars, even if he has killed father and mother, and two complete kings and an eminent man besides the disciples of Gotama, are always well awake and their thoughts day and night. the night is always set on Buddha the disciples of Gotama are always wide awake and their thoughts day and night are always set on the law the disciples of Gotama are always wide awake and their thoughts day and night are always set on the church the disciples of Gotama are always wide awake and their thoughts day and night are always set on their body there Gotama's disciples are always far away and their minds day and night always delight in compassion Gotama's disciples are always wide awake and their mind day and night night he always delights in meditation it is difficult to leave the world to become a friar it is difficult to enjoy the world it is painful the monastery is painful the houses are to dwell with equals to share everything in common and the itinerant beggar is harassed by pain, therefore , Let no man be an itinerant beggar and he will not be harassed by pain in any place where a faithful virtuous man is found.

The famous and rich man chooses there he is respected good people shine from afar like snow-capped mountains bad people do not look like arrows shot in the night he alone who incessantly practices the duty of sitting alone and sleeping alone he submitting will rejoice in the destruction of all desires alone as if he lived in a forest chapter 22 the downward course he who says what is not goes to hell he also who, having done one thing, says I have not done it after death both are equal, they are men with bad deeds in the In the next world, many men whose shoulders are covered with the yellow tunic are badly conditioned and unrestrained.

Such evildoers for their evil deeds go to hell. It would be better to swallow a hot iron ball like a burning fire, than a wanton bad guy should live on charity. From the earth for things, the imprudent man who covets his neighbor's wife gains a bad reputation, an uncomfortable bed, thirdly, punishment, and finally hell is the bad reputation, and the bad road to hell is the brief pleasure of the frightened in the arms of the frightened and the king imposes heavy punishments, therefore, let no one think of his neighbor's wife as a blade of grass if badly grasped she cuts the arm poorly practiced asceticism leads to hell and acts negligently fulfilled a broken vow and wavering obedience to Discipline, all this does not bring great reward if something has to be done, let the man do it, let him attack it vigorously.

A careless pilgrim only spreads more dust of his passions. It is better not to do a bad action because man will regret it later. It is better to do a good deed for having done it. Once this is done, one does not repent like a well-guarded border, forts with defenses inside and outside, so let a man take care of himself, he must not escape for a moment because those who let the right moment pass suffer pain when they are in hell. , those who are ashamed of what they should not be ashamed of and what they should not be ashamed of what they should be ashamed of such men who embrace false doctrines go astray those who fear when they should not fear and do not fear when they should fear such Men who embrace false doctrines go astray those who prohibit when there is nothing to prohibit and do not prohibit when there is something to prohibit such men who embrace false doctrines go astray those who know what is prohibited as forbidden and what is forbidden.

It is not prohibited as not prohibited such men who embrace the true doctrine enter the right path 2:23 the elephant I will silently end your abuse as the elephant in battle wounds the arrows sent from the bow for this world is of bad character lead to a domesticated elephant to fight against the King's mounts a domesticated elephant the domesticated is the best among men he who silently hurts abuses mules is good if he is domesticated and Noble sinned he who horses and elephants with large tusks but he who domesticates himself is even better because with these animals no man reaches the untrodden land Nirvana where a domesticated man goes on a domesticated animal with a V on his own well domesticated the elephant called Dona Palika his temples running with SAP and difficult to sustain does not eat a bite when it is tied the elephant longs for the growth of the elephant if a man becomes fat and very voracious if he is sleepy and wallows on that fool like a pig fed with water, this mind of mine is born again and again before it wandered as I wanted, as I wanted, but now I will stop her. carefully as the horseman who holds the hook restrains angry elephants, do not be inconsiderate, observe your thoughts, stay away from the evil path like an elephant sunk in the mud, if a man finds a prudent companion who will walk with him, be wise and live soberly, leave it. walk with him overcoming all dangers happy but considerate if a man does not find a prudent companion to walk with him be wise and live soberly let him walk alone like a king who has left behind his conquered country like an elephant in the forest it is better to live alone no there is company with a fool let a man walk alone do not allow him to commit sin with few desires like an elephant in the because if an occasion arises friends are pleasant enjoyment is pleasant whatever the cause good work is pleasant in the hour of death, abandoning all pain is pleasant.

Pleasant in the world is the state of a mother. Pleasant state of a father. The state of a samana is pleasant. Pleasant is the state of a brahmana. Pleasant is the virtue that lasts until old age. Pleasant is a firmly rooted faith. pleasant is to achieve intelligence pleasant is to avoid sins chapter 24 first the first of a thoughtless man grows like a vine he runs from life to life like a monkey looking for fruit in the forest who is overcome by this fierce thirst full of poison in this world his sufferings will increase like the abundant barani grass, he who conquers this fierce thirst, difficult to conquer in this world, sufferings fall from him like drops of water from a lotus leaf, this salutary word I say to you, all those gathered here, dig up the root . of thirst, as one who wants the sweet and fragrant root of Asiri must dig up the barani grass so that Mara, the tempter, cannot crush you again and again, as the stream crushes the reeds like a tree, even if it has been cut down with its firmness. while his root is safe and grows again, therefore, unless those who feed thirst are destroyed, the pain of life will return again and again, he whose thirst rushing towards pleasure is extremely strong in the 36 channels, the waves will carry away that wayward man, Vasavi, his desires that are established. over passion the canals run everywhere The vine of passion is sprouting if you see the vine sprouting cut its roots through knowledge its pleasures are extravagant and luxurious sunk in lust and seeking pleasure men experience again and again birth and decay men driven forward by thirst run like a trapped hare, held in shackles and bonds, suffer pain for a long time again and again men driven by thirst run like a trapped hare, which the beggar drives away thirst striving to care dispassionately for himself, he who having got rid of the forest of lust after having attained nirvana surrenders himself to the life and lust of the forest and who when he withdraws from the forest runs towards the forest looks at that man, although free, runs towards slavery.

The wise men do not call that a strong shackle that is made of iron, wood or hemp. Much stronger is the care of precious stones and rings for children and a wife, that shackle that the wise call strong that It reduces returns but is difficult to undo after having finally cut it off. People leave the world free of worries and leaving desires and pleasures behind. Those who are slaves of passions are carried away by the current of desires like a spider runs along. the cloth that he himself has made when they have finally cut it the wise men leave the world free of worries leaving all affection behind abandon what is before abandon what is behind abandon what is in the middle when you go to the other side of the existence if your mind is completely free you will not again enter birth and decay if a man is shaken by doubts filled with strong passions and longing only for what is delightful his thirst will grow ever greater and will certainly strengthen his chains if a man becomes He delights in being still and reflecting He always stops at what is not delightful The impurity of the body He will certainly remove He will not cut the chains of Mary He who has reached a consummation He who does not tremble He who is without thirst and without sin He has broken all the thorns of life this will be his last body he who is without thirst and without affection whoever understands the words and their interpretation whoever knows the order of the letters those who are before and those who are after has received his last body he is called the great wise the great man I have conquered everything I know everything in all conditions of life I am free from corruption I have left everything and through the destruction of thirst I am free having learned for myself whom I will teach the gift of the law surpasses all the gifts the sweetness of the law surpasses all sweetness the delight in the law the extinction of thirst surpasses all pain pleasures destroy the fool if he does not seek the other shore the fool through his thirst for pleasures destroys himself as if he were his own enemy the fields are damaged by weeds humanity is damaged by passion therefore a gift given to the passionless brings great reward the fields are damaged by weeds humanity is damaged by hate therefore a gift given to those who do not hate brings great reward the fields are damaged by weeds humanity is damaged by vanity therefore a gift given to those who are free from vanity brings great reward the fields are damaged by weeds humanity is harmed by lust, therefore a gift given to those who are free from lust brings great reward 25 for bhikshu mintakans moderation in the eyes is good good is moderation in the ear in the nose moderation is good good is moderation in the tongue in moderation of the body is good good is moderation in speech in thought moderation is good good is moderation in all things a restrained bhikshu in all things is free from all pain the He who controls his hand He who controls his feet He who controls his speech He who is well controlled He who delights in the mundane He who is serene He who is solitary and content They call him a big shoe The bhikshu who controls his mouth He who speaks wisely calmly Who He teaches the meaning and the law His word is sweet He who dwells in the law delights in the law meditates on the law follows the law that big shoe will never depart from the true law let him not despise what he has received nor ever envy others A beggar who envies others does not obtain peace of mind, a big shoe that although the small one receives, he does not despise what he has received, even the gods will praise him if his life is pure and if he is not lazy, he who never identifies himself with the name and the form and does not grieve for that which no longer exists, indeed the big shoe is called the big shoe that acts with kindness, that is calm in the doctrine of Buddha, will reach the quiet place, nirvana, the cessation of natural desires and happiness.

Oh, you empty this ship, if you empty it, it will quickly go away, having cut off passion and hatred, you will go to the cut of Nirvana. outside the five senses leave the five rise above the five a big shoe thatShe has escaped from the five chains. Her name is the old Catina, saved from the flood. Meditate and don't be careless. Don't direct your thoughts to what gives you pleasure. You can't because of your carelessness. You have to swallow the iron ball in hell and don't let Emmaus scream. when burning this is pain without knowledge there is no meditation without meditation there is no knowledge he who has knowledge and meditation is close to Nirvana a bhikshu who has entered his empty house and whose mind is calm the fields are more than human delights when he sees the law clearly, as soon as he considers the origin and destruction of the elements of the body, he finds the happiness and joy that belong to those who know the immortal Nirvana and this This is the beginning for a wise bhikshu vigilance of the senses contentment moderation under the law keep noble friends whose life is pure and who are not lazy let him live in charity let him be perfect in his duties then in the fullness of delight he will make an end of suffering as the vesica plant sheds its withered flowers men should pour out passion and hatred or you, who is the big shoe whose body, tongue and mind are calm who is collected and has rejected the baits of the world he is cold calm wake up for yourself examine yourself for yourself thus protected and attentive you will live happily o Baku because oneself is the Lord of oneself oneself is the refuge of oneself therefore be content as the merchant reins in a good horse the great horseshoe full of delight for his calm in the doctrine of Buddha he will reach the quiet place nirvana cessation of natural desires and happiness he who even being a young big shoe applies himself to the doctrine of Buddha illuminates this world like the moon when it is free from the clouds chapter 26 the brahmana our hat stops the current bravely drives away the desires, oh brahmana, when you have understood the destruction of all that was made, you will understand what was not made if the brahmana has reached the other shore in both laws, in moderation and contemplation, all bondages vanish from him who has obtained knowledge he for whom there is neither this Shan nor that Coast nor both, the fearless and free from shackles.

I truly call him a brahmana who is thoughtful, blameless, established, obedient and passionless and who has attained the highest end. bright by day the moon shines by night the warrior shines in his armor the brahmana shines in his meditation but Buddha, the awakened one, shines with splendor day and night because a man is free from evil, that is why he is called brahmana because he walks calmly, that is why he is called samana because he has expelled his own impurities, therefore he is called proud by a Gita a pilgrim no one should attack a brahmana therefore no brahmana if attacked should allow himself to fly towards his attacker woe to him who hit a brahmana!

To him who attacks his attacker the advantages of him are no small brahmana if he retains his mind from the pleasures of life when all desire to do harm has disappeared. The pain will stop. In fact, I call him a brahmana who does not offend with body, speech or thought and is controlled in these three points after a man has once understood the law as taught by the wide awake Buddha who worships it carefully. as the Ramana worships the sacrificial fire a man does not become a brahmana by his hair braided by his family or by birth in whom there is truth and righteousness he is blessed he is a brahmana what is the use of braided hair full which of the clothing of goat skins inside there is voracious but on the outside clean the man who dresses dirty Ramón who is emaciated and covered with veins who lives alone in the forest and meditates, in fact I call him a brahmana.

I do not call the man a brahmana because of his origin or because of his mother, he is certainly arrogant and rich, but the poor one who is free from all attachments is him. my call indeed a brahmana he Michael indeed a brahmana who has cut all the chains who never trembles is independent and set him free Michael indeed a brahmanawho has cut the thong and the thong the chain with all that belongs to him who has burst the bar and Michael has awakened him, truly a brahmana who, although he has not committed any crime within, reproaches him with ties and whippings, who has resistance for his strength and strength for his army, I call him truly a brahmana who is free from wrath obedient virtuous without appetite who is subdued and has received his last body I call him verily a brahmana who does not cling to pleasures like water on a lotus leaf like a mustard seed in the I call him Ramana, even though he knows that his suffering has left its burden and he has been set free.

Michael, in fact, a brahmana whose knowledge is deep, who possesses wisdom, who knows the right and wrong path and has achieved the highest end: to him, Michael, in fact, a brahmana who keeps himself aloof from both the laymen like one of the mendicants, who does not frequent houses and has few desires. I actually call him a brahmana who finds no fault in other beings, whether weak or strong, and who does not kill or cause carnage. To him, my call, verily, a brahmana from whom anger, hatred, pride and envy have fallen like a mustard seed from the tip of a needle.

Him, verily, I call a brahmana who utters words that are true, instructive and free from harshness, so that he does not offend anyone. In fact, a brahmana who does not take anything in the world that is not given to him, whether long or short, small or great, good or bad, I call him in fact a brahmana who fosters no desires for this world or for The next one has no inclinations and no shackles. my call in truth to a Ramana who has no interests and when he has understood the truth he does not say how and who has reached the depth of the immortal. my call truly to a brahmana who in this world is above good and evil, above the slavery of both. free from pain, sin and impurity, I truly call him a brahmana who is bright as the moon, pure, serene, calm and in whom all joy is extinguished.

He crossed and reached the other Shore, his thoughtful one, innocent, free of doubts, free of attachments and content. Leaving all longings, travels homeless and in whom all greed is extinguished, I truly call him a brahmana who, after leaving all bondage to men, has risen above all bondage to the gods and is free. from each and every bondage, I truly call him a brahmana. who has left what gives pleasure and what gives pain who is cold and free from all the germs of renewed life the hero who has conquered all the worlds I really call him a brahmana who knows the destruction and the return of beings in everywhere he who is free from slavery well and I awakened him, I call him in fact a brahmana whose path to the gods is known neither by the spirits nor by the men whose passions are extinct and who he is and our venerable hands.

I call him in fact a Ramana who considers nothing his own, whether before, behind or between him who is poor and free from the love of the world. I call him in fact a brahmana, the manly, the noble, the hero, the great sage, the conqueror, the impossible. the realized one the awakened one I actually call him a brahmana who knows his ancient abodes who sees heaven and hell has reached the end of births is perfect in knowledge a sage and whose perfections are all perfect you
