Na tāvatā dhammadharo
yāvatā bahu bhāsati.
Yo ca appampi sutvāna,
dhammaṃ kāyena passati
sa ve dhammadharo hoti,
yo dhammaṃ nappamajjati.
Listen

One is not versed in Dhamma
because one speaks much.
One who, after hearing a little Dhamma,
realizes its truth directly
and is not heedless of it,
is truly versed in the Dhamma.

Yo ca appampi sutvāna,
dhammaṃ kāyena passati
sa ve dhammadharo hoti,
yo dhammaṃ nappamajjati.
Listen

One is not versed in Dhamma
because one speaks much.
One who, after hearing a little Dhamma,
realizes its truth directly
and is not heedless of it,
is truly versed in the Dhamma.

dispassionate for things that spark passion,

from where can there come suffering & stress?

with peaceful faculties, masterful,
modest, & no greed for supporters.
Do not do the slightest thing
that the wise would later censure.

When past conditioning is released

the mind no longer seeks for future birth.
The seed consumed, cravings no more arise.
Such-minded wise ones cease like [the flame of] this lamp.

Through countless births in the cycle of existence
I have run, not finding
although seeking the builder of this house;
and again and again I faced the suffering of new birth.
Oh housebuilder! Now you are seen.
You shall not build a house again for me.
All your beams are broken,
the ridgepole is shattered.
The mind has become freed from conditioning:
the end of craving has been reached.

Agonized now by the knowledge that one has done wrong,

Rejoicing now in the knowledge that one has acted rightly,

Mind precedes all phenomena,
mind matters most, everything is mind-made.
If with an impure mind
one performs any action of speech or body,
then suffering will follow that person

Idha socati pecca socati;

pāpakārī ubhayattha socati.

So socati so vihaññati,

disvā kammakiliṭṭhamattano.

Listen

The evil-doer grieves here and hereafter;

one grieves in both the worlds.

One laments and is afflicted,

recollecting one's own impure deeds.

from where can there come suffering & stress?
