Daily Words of the Buddha ~ September 17, 2014

Interfaith-facebookSukhakāmāni bhūtāni,
yo daṇḍena na hiṃsati
attano sukhamesāno,
pecca so labhate sukhaṃ.

One who, while oneself seeking happiness,
does not oppress with violence other beings,
who also desires happiness,
will find happiness hereafter.

Dhammapada 10.132

The Dhammapada: The Buddha’s Path of Wisdom,
translated from the Pali by Acharya Buddharakkhita
