I- Yamakavagga, The Pairs
1- Cakkhupalatthera Vatthu
Manopubbangama dhamma,
manosettha manomaya;
manasa ce padutthena,
bhasati va karoti va;
tato nam dukkhamanveti,
cakkamva vahato padam.
All mental phenomena have mind as their forerunner; they have mind as their chief; they are mind-made. If one speaks or acts with an evil mind, 'dukkha' follows him just as the wheel follows the hoofprint of the ox that draws the cart.
