Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni
yo daṇḍena vihiṃsati,
attano sukhamesāno,
pecca so na labhate sukhaṃ.
Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni
yo daṇḍena na hiṃsati,
attano sukhamesāno,
pecca so labhate sukhaṃ.
Whoever takes a stick
to beings desiring ease,
when one is looking for ease,
will meet with no ease after death.
Whoever doesn't take a stick
to beings desiring ease,
when one is looking for ease,
will meet with ease after death.
Udāna 2.13
Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
