Daily Words of the Buddha ~ November 04, 2014

awesome pillarsPaṇḍito sīlasampanno
jalaṃ aggīva bhāsati;
bhoge saṃharamānassa
bhamarasseva irīyato.

One who is virtuous and wise
shines forth like a blazing fire;
like a bee collecting nectar
one acquires wealth by harming none.

Dīgha Nikāya 3.265

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