Snippets of the Dhamma

These are a few excerpts from the Dhamma that I keep close to my heart...

Cetanaham bhikkhave kammam vadami
"Intention, I tell you, is kamma."
Na hi verena verāni
sammantidha kudācanam
averena ca sammanti
esa dhammo sanantano
"Never here by enmity
are those with enmity allayed,
they are allayed by amity,
this is the timeless Truth."
Selo yatā eka ghano
vātena na samirati
evam nindā pasamsāsu
na samijjhanti panditā
"Never here by enmity
are those with enmity allayed,
they are allayed by amity,
this is the timeless Truth."
Aniccā vata sankhārā
uppāda vaya dhammino
uppajjitvā nirujjhanti
tesam vupasamo sukho
"How inconstant are compounded things!
Their nature: to arise & pass away.
They disband as they are arising.
Their total stilling is bliss."
