Daily Words of the Buddha ~ November 11, 2014

morning solitude
Sukho viveko tuṭṭhassa,
sutadhammassa passato.
Abyāpajjaṃ sukhaṃ loke —
pāṇabhūtesu saṃyamo.

Solitude is happiness for one who is content,
who has heard the Dhamma and clearly sees.
Non-affliction is happiness in the world —
harmlessness towards all living beings.

Udāna 2.11

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