Na bhaje papake mitte, na bhaje purisadhame;
bhajetha mitte kalyane, bhajetha purisuttame.

Dhamma Info ( 24 )


Sharing Love

For the mindful one, there is always good;
For the mindful one, happiness increases;
For the mindful one, things go better,
Yet he may not be freed from hate.

But one who both day and night
Takes delight in harmlessness,
Sharing love with all that lives-
That one has hate for no one.
