Daily Words of the Buddha for March 02, 2018

Pāli Word a Day for March 02, 2018 — jita — conquered, subdued, mastered:

Selo yathā ekaghano vātena na samīrati,
evaṃ nindāpasaṃsāsu na samiñjanti paṇḍitā.

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm,
even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.
