इध सोचति पेच्‍च सोचति, पापकारी उभयत्थ सोचति। सो सोचति सो विहञ्‍ञति, दिस्वा कम्मकिलिट्ठमत्तनो॥15 Here he grieves, hereafter he grieves; the evil-doer grieves in both existences. He grieves and he suffers anguish when he sees the depravity of his own deeds. इध मोदति पेच्‍च मोदति, कतपुञ्‍ञो उभयत्थ मोदति। सो मोदति सो पमोदति, दिस्वा कम्मविसुद्धिमत्तनो॥16 Here he rejoices, hereafter he rejoices; one who performed meritorious deeds rejoices in both existences. He rejoices and greatl

यथा अगारं दुच्छन्‍नं, वुट्ठी समतिविज्झति। एवं अभावितं चित्तं, रागो समतिविज्झति॥13 Just as rain penetrates a badly-roofed house, so also, passion (raga) penetrates a mind not cultivated in Tranquillity and Insight Development (Samatha and Vipassana). यथा अगारं सुछन्‍नं, वुट्ठी न समतिविज्झति। एवं सुभावितं चित्तं, रागो न समतिविज्झति॥ Just as rain cannot penetrate a well-roofed house, so also, passion (raga) cannot penetrate a mind well-cultivated in Tranquillity and Insight Deve

असारे सारमतिनो, सारे चासारदस्सिनो। ते सारं नाधिगच्छन्ति, मिच्छासङ्कप्पगोचरा॥ They take untruth for truth; they take truth for untruth; such persons can never arrive at the truth, for they hold wrong views. सारञ्‍च सारतो ञत्वा, असारञ्‍च असारतो। ते सारं अधिगच्छन्ति, सम्मासङ्कप्पगोचरा॥ They take truth for truth; they take untruth for untruth; such persons arrive at the truth, for they hold right views. #Dhammapda #Buddha, #Dhamma

अनिक्‍कसावो कासावं, यो वत्थं परिदहिस्सति। अपेतो दमसच्‍चेन, न सो कासावमरहति॥9 He who is not free from taints of moral defilements (kilesas) and yet dons the yellow robe, who lacks restraint in his senses and (speaks not the) truth is unworthy of the yellow robe. यो च वन्तकसावस्स, सीलेसु सुसमाहितो। उपेतो दमसच्‍चेन, स वे कासावमरहति॥10 He who has discarded all moral defilements (kilesas), who is established in moral precepts, is endowed with restraint and (speaks the) truth is, i

सुभानुपस्सिं विहरन्तं, इन्द्रियेसु असंवुतं। भोजनम्हि चामत्तञ्‍ञुं, कुसीतं हीनवीरियं। तं वे पसहति मारो, वातो रुक्खंव दुब्बलं॥ He who keeps his mind on pleasant objects, who is uncontrolled in his senses, immoderate in his food, and is lazy and lacking in energy, will certainly be overwhelmed by Mara,3 just as stormy winds uproot a weak tree. असुभानुपस्सिं विहरन्तं, इन्द्रियेसु सुसंवुतं। भोजनम्हि च मत्तञ्‍ञुं, सद्धं आरद्धवीरियं। तं वे नप्पसहति मारो, वातो सेलंव पब्बतं॥8 He who k

परे च न विजानन्ति, मयमेत्थ यमामसे। ये च तत्थ विजानन्ति, ततो सम्मन्ति मेधगा॥ People, other than the wise, do not realize, "We in this world must all die," (and, not realizing it, continue their quarrels). The wise realize it and thereby their quarrels cease. #Dhammapda #Buddha, #Dhamma
