the disciple of the Supremely Enlightened One shines resplendent in wisdom.

Mindfulness is the path to the Deathless,
Heedlessness is the path to death.
The mindful never die,
the heedless are as if dead already.

A man is not versed in #Dhamma
because he speaks much.
He who, after hearing a little Dhamma,
realizes its truth directly
and is not heedless of it,
is truly versed in the Dhamma.

There is no fire like lust;
there is no grip like hatred;
there is no net like delusion;
there is no river like craving.

Not despising, not harming, restraint according to the code of monastic discipline, moderation in food, dwelling in solitude, devotion to #meditation — this is the teaching of the #Buddhas.

Just as rust arising from iron eats away the base from which it arises, even so, their own deeds lead transgressors to states of woe.

One is not wise because one speaks much.
He who is peaceable, friendly and fearless is called wise.
