Dhammapada 35 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


3 - Cittavagga, The Mind
2 - Annatarabhikkhu Vatthu
Dunniggahassa lahuno,
yatthakamanipatino;

cittassa damatho sadhu,
cittam dantam sukhavaham.

35: The mind is difficult to control; swiftly and lightly, it moves and lands wherever it pleases. It is good to tame the mind, for a well-tamed mind brings happiness.
