The Dhammapada- 277

 
 


'All conditioned things are impermanent',

When one sees this in wisdom,

Then one becomes dispassionate towards the painful.

This is the Path to Purity.

 

 

 

 



The Dhammapada- 24

Whosoever is energetic,

mindful,

pure in conduct,

discriminating,

self-restrained,

right-living,

vigilant,

his fame steadily increases.

The Dhammapada- 26

Fools, men of little intelligence,

give themselves over to negligence,

but the wise man protects his diligence as a supreme treasure.

The Dhammapada- 25

By endeavor,

diligence,

discipline,

and self-mastery,

let the wise man make (of himself) an island that no flood can overwhelm.

The Words of Truth- Selections for The Dhammapada (5)

Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world;

It is appeased by love.

This is an eternal law.

 



The Words of Truth- Selections for The Dhammapada (3)

'He abused me, he beat me, he defeated me, he robbed me';

the hatred of those who harbour such thoughts is not appeased.

2.

All (mental) states have mind as their forerunner, mind is their chief, and they are mind-made. If one speaks or acts, with a pure mind, happiness follows one as one's shadow that does not leave one.

All (mental) states have mind as their forerunner, mind is their chief, and they are mind-made. If one speaks or acts, with a defiled mind, then suffering follows one even as the wheel follows the hoof of the draught-ox.
