Dhammapada
* Now may every living thing, young or old, weak or strong, living near or far, known or unknown, living or yet unborn, may every living thing be full of bliss.
* Now may every living thing, young or old, weak or strong, living near or far, known or unknown, living or yet unborn, may every living thing be full of bliss.

*Mind is fore-runner of (all evils) states. Mind is their
chief; and they are mind made. If one speaks or acts with an impure mind, then
suffering follows one even as the wheel follows the hoof of the ox.
*Hate is not overcome by hate; by love alone is hate
appeased. This is aneternal law.
*Whoever lives contemplating pleasant things, with senses
unrestrained, in food immoderate, indolent, inactive, him verily Mara
overthrows, as the wind overthrows a weak tree.
*Whoever lives contemplating “the impurities”, with senses
restrained, in food moderate, full of faith, full of sustained energy, him Mara
overthrows not, as the wind (does not overthrow) a rocky mountain.
*He who wears the yellow robe, without being free from
impurity, who is devoid od self-control and truth, is not worthy of it.
*The evil doer laments here, he laments here-after. He
laments in both worlds. He laments thinking that he has done evil. He laments
even more when he goes to the woeful state.
*By effort, by vigilance, by restraint, by control let the
wise man make for himself an island which the flood cannot overwhelm.
*As a bee gathers honey from a flower and flies away without
injuring the flower, its colour or its scent, so let the sage wander in the
village.
*There is no fire like lust, no crime like hatred. There is no sorrow like
the constituents of existence, no happiness higher than tranquility.
(Dhammapada verse 202)
*He who walks in the company of fools has to grieve for long time. Association
with fools is ever painful, as living with enemy; association with the wise is
a pleasure, as living with relatives.
*From attachment arises grief; from attachment arises fear. To one who is
free from attachment there is no grief; much less fear. (Dhammapada verse 214)
*One who checks rising anger is like a skillful charioteer who handles a
chariot gone out of control. Others are like those who merely hold the reins.
(Dhammapada verse 222)
*Whoso in this world destroys life, tells lies, takes what is not given,
goes to other's wives, and is addicted to intoxicating drinks, such a one digs
up his own roots in this world. (Dhammapada verse 246-247)
*As a big flood carries off a sleeping village, death takes and goes off
with the doting man whose mind is set on children and herds.
*The craving of a negligent person grows like a Maluva creeper. He jumps
from life to life like a fruit loving monkey in the forest. (Dhammapada verse 334)
* A man’s joys are always transient, and since men devote themselves to
pleasure, seeking after happiness, they undergo birth and decay. (Dhammapada
verse 341)
*As the jasmine sheds its withered flowers, even so, O monks, should you
totally shed lust and hatred. (Dhammapada verse 377)
