I. Twin Verses (Yamaka-vaggo)  1. All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him, as the wheel follows the foot of the ox that draws the carriage. Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā manoseṭṭhā manomayā  Manasā ce paduṭṭhena bhāsati vā karoti vā  Tato naṃ dukkhamanveti cakkaṃ'va vahato padaṃ. 2. All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is founded on our thoughts, it is made up of our thoughts. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā manoseṭṭhā manomayā  Manasā ce pasannena bhāsati vā karoti vā  Tato naṃ sukhamanveti chāyā'va anapāyinī. 5. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time: hatred ceases by love, this is an eternal rule. Na hi verena verāni sammantīdha kudācanaṃ  Averena ca sammanti esa dhammo sanantano.   Ch. X. Punishment (Daṇḍa-vaggo)  131. He who seeking his own happiness punishes or kills beings who also long for happiness, will not find happiness after death. Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni yodaṇḍena vihiṃsati  Attano sukhamesāno pecca so na labhate sukhaṃ. 132. He who seeking his own happiness does not punish or kill beings who also long for happiness, will find happiness after death. Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni yodaṇḍena na hiṃsati  Attano sukhamesāno pecca so labhate sukhaṃ. 133. Do not speak harshly to anybody; those who are spoken to will answer thee in the same way. Angry speech is painful, blows for blows will touch thee. Mā'voca pharusaṃ kañci vuttā paṭivadeyyu taṃ  Dukkhā hi sārambhakathā paṭidaṇḍā phuseyyu taṃ.   Ch. XII: Self (Atta-vaggo)  157. If a man hold himself dear, let him watch himself carefully; during one at least out of the three watches a wise man should be watchful. 158. Let each man direct himself first to what is proper, then let him teach others; thus a wise man will not suffer. 159. If a man make himself as he teaches others to be, then, being himself well subdued, he may subdue (others); one's own self is indeed difficult to subdue. 160. One is one's own refuge, what other refuge can there be?? With self well subdued, a man finds a refuge such as few can find. 161. The evil done by oneself, self-begotten, self-bred, crushes the foolish, as a diamond breaks a precious stone. 162. He whose wickedness is very great brings himself down to that state where his enemy wishes him to be, as a creeper does with the tree which it surrounds. 163. Bad deeds, and deeds hurtful to ourselves, are easy to do; what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do. 164. The foolish man who scorns the rule of the venerable (Arahat), of the elect (Ariya), of the virtuous, and follows false doctrine, he bears fruit to his own destruction, like the fruits of the Katthaka reed. 165. By oneself the evil is done, by oneself one suffers; by oneself evil is left undone, by oneself one is purified. Purity and impurity belong to oneself, no one can purify another. 166. Let no one forget his own duty for the sake of another's, however great; let a man, after he has discerned his own duty, be always attentive to his duty.   Ch. XIII: World  167. Rouse yourself, be diligent, in Dhamma faring well. Who dwells in Dhamma’s happy in this birth and the next.   Ch. XIV: The Buddha (The Awakened) (Buddha-vaggo)  183. Not to commit any sin, to do good, and to purify one's mind, that is the teaching of (all) the Awakened. Sabbapāpassa akaraṇaṃ kusalassa upasampadā  Sacittapariyodapanaṃ etaṃ buddhāna sāsanaṃ.   Ch. XX: The Way (Magga-vaggo)  276. You yourself must make an effort. The Tathagatas (Buddhas) are only preachers. The thoughtful who enter the way are freed from the bondage of Mara. Tumhehi kiccaṃ ātappaṃ akkhātāro tathāgatā  Paṭipannā pamokkhanti jhāyino mārabandhanā. 277. 'All created things perish,' he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain; this is the way to purity. Sabbe saṅkhārā aniccā'ti yadā paññāya passati  Atha nibbindati dukkhe esa maggo visuddhiyā. 278. 'All created things are grief and pain,' he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain; this is the way that leads to purity. Sabbe saṅkhārā dukkhā'ti yadā paññāya passati  Atha nibbindati dukkhe esa maggo visuddhiyā. 279. 'All forms are unreal,' he who knows and sees this becomes passive in pain; this is the way that leads to purity. Sabbe dhammā anattā'ti yadā paññāya passati  Atha nibbindati dukkhe esa maggo visuddhiyā.   Ch. XXIV: Thirst (Taṇhā-vaggo)  343. Men, driven on by thirst, run about like a snared hare; let therefore the mendicant drive out thirst, by striving after passionlessness for himself. Tasiṇāya purakkhatā pajā parisappanti saso'va bādhito  Tasmā tasiṇaṃ vinodaye bhikkhu ākaṅkhī virāgamattano. 350. If a man delights in quieting doubts, and, always reflecting, dwells on what is not delightful (the impurity of the body, &amp;c.), he certainly will remove, nay, he will cut the fetter of Mara.
