Daily Words of the Buddha for October 01, 2013


Na tena ariyo hoti yena pāṇāni hiṃsati.
Ahiṃsā sabbapāṇānaṃ
"ariyo"ti pavuccati.

One is not noble who injures living beings.
One is called "noble" because
one is harmless towards all living beings.



Dhammapada 19.270

translated from the Pali by Acharya Buddharakkhita
