Daily Words of the Buddha for March 30, 2018

Pāli Word a Day for March 30, 2018  —  paricāraṇā — care, attention, looking after; pleasure, feasting, satisfaction

Idha socati pecca socati;
pāpakārī ubhayattha socati.
So socati so vihaññati,
disvā kammakiliṭṭhamattano.

The evil-doer grieves here and hereafter;
one grieves in both the worlds.
One laments and is afflicted,
recollecting one’s own impure deeds.

Dhammapada 1.15
