Daily Words of the Buddha for October 21, 2013


Attānameva paṭhamaṃ
patirūpe nivesaye
athaññamanusāseyya
na kilisseyya paṇḍito.

One should first establish oneself
in what is proper and only then
try to instruct others. Doing this,
the wise one will not be criticized.


Dhammapada 12.158

Gemstones of the Good Dhamma, 
compiled and translated by Ven. S. Dhammika
