Daily Words of the Buddha ~ October 17, 2014

manifesting1Ubhinnamatthaṃ carati,
attano ca parassa ca;
paraṃ saṅkupitaṃ ñatvā,
yo sato upasammati.

Knowing that the other person is angry,
one who remains mindful and calm
acts for one’s own best interest
and for the other’s interest, too.

Saṃyutta Nikāya 1.188

Gemstones of the Good Dhamma,
compiled and translated by Ven. S. Dhammika
