Daily Words of the Buddha ~ August 25, 2014

bronze buddhaImesu kira sajjanti,
Eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā;
Viggayha naṃ vivadanti
Janā ekaṅgadassino.

Some recluses and brahmins, so called,
Are deeply attached to their own views;
People who only see one side of things
Engage in quarrels and disputes.

Udāna 6.54

The Udāna and the Itivuttaka, trans. John D. Ireland
