Dhammapada 77 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


6- Panditavagga, The Wise
2- Assajipunabbasuka Vatthu
Ovadeyya'nusaseyya, asabbha ca nivaraye;
satam hi so piyo hoti, asatam hoti appiyo.
77: The man of wisdom should admonish others; he should give advice and should prevent others from doing wrong; such a man is held dear by the good; he is disliked only by the bad.

Dhammapada 76 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


6- Panditavagga, The Wise
1- Radhatthera Vatthu
Nidhinamva pavattaram,
yam passe vajjadassinam;

niggayhavadim medhavim,
tadisam panditam bhaje;

tadisam bhajamanassa,
seyyo hoti na papiyo.

76: One should follow a man of wisdom who rebukes one for one's faults, as one would follow a guide to some buried treasure. To one who follows such a wise man, it will be an advantage and not a disadvantage.

Dhamma Info (23)


Act like Water
Just as water cools both good and bad,
And washes away all impurity and dust,
In the same way you should develop thoughts of love, 
To friend and foe alike,
And having reached perfection in love,
You will attain enlightenment.
Dhammika, Bhante S. Words of the Buddha. 2013.
