Dhammapada 2 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


I- Yamakavagga, The Pairs
2- Matthakundali Vatthu 


Manopubbangama dhamma,
manosettha manomaya;   

manasa ce pasannena,
bhasati va karoti va; 

tato nam sukha1 manveti,
chayava anapayini. 

All mental phenomena have mind as their forerunner; they have mind as their chief; they are mind-made. If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness (sukha) follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.
