Daily Words of the Buddha for January 14, 2014



Kāyena saṃvaro sādhu; 
sādhu vācāya saṃvaro;
manasā saṃvaro sādhu. 
Sādhu sabbattha saṃvaro.
Sabbattha saṃvuto bhikkhu
sabbadukkhā pamuccati.

Good is restraint in the body; good is restraint in speech;
good is restraint in thought. Restraint everywhere is good.
The monk restrained in every way
is freed from all suffering.


Dhammapada 25.361

The Dhammapada: The Buddha's Path of Wisdom, 
translated from the Pali by Acharya Buddharakkhita
