He Who Is Calm In Mind Acquires Peacefulness

If a man is free from greed, he will not quarrel with the world,
He will not kill, nor steal, nor cheat, nor abuse, nor lose his temper, nor flatter, nor envy, nor will he be unjust.
They will be able to guide and support others in this bewildering world, and they will be worthy of trust.

The human mind, in it’s never-ending changes, is like the flowing water of river or the burning flame of a candle.
Like an ape, it is forever jumping about, not ceasing for even a moment.
A wise man, seeing and hearing such, should break away from any attachment to body or mind.

All living beings rise from ignorance.
All objects of desire are impermanent, uncertain and suffering.
All existing things are impermanent, uncertain and suffering.
There is no such thing as ‘mine’ in all the world.

An unenlightened life rises from a mind that is bewildered by its own world of delusion.
If we learn that there is no world of delusion outside the mind, the bewildered mind becomes clear,
And because we cease to create impure surroundings,
We attain enlightenment.

One who is to enjoy the purity of both body and mind walks the path to enlightenment.
Breaking the net of selfish, impure thoughts and evil desires.
He who is calm in mind acquires peacefulness and thus is able to cultivate his mind day and night with more diligence.
