Daily Words of the Buddha for April 21, 2014


Pabbatassa suvaṇṇassa,
jātarūpassa kevalo
dvittāva nālamekassa:
iti vidvā samañcare.

Were there a mountain all made of gold,
doubled that would not be enough
to satisfy a single person:
know this and live accordingly.


Saṃyutta Nikāya 1.156

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