| Dhammapada Verses 231 - 234: Guarding the Doors | 07 Jul 2020 | 00:24:50 | |
Verse 231 Let a man guard himself against irritability in bodily action; let him be controlled in deed. Abandoning bodily misconduct, let him practice good conduct in deed. Verse 232 Let a man guard himself against irritability in speech; let him be controlled in speech. Abandoning verbal misconduct, let him practice good conduct in speech. Verse 233 Let a man guard himself against irritability in thought; let him be controlled in mind. Abandoning mental misconduct, let him practice good conduct in thought. Verse 234 The wise are controlled in bodily action, controlled in speech and controlled in thought. They are truly well-controlled.

| Dhammapada Verse 227 - 230: Blamed | 30 Jun 2020 | 00:42:20 | |
Verse 227 O Atula! Indeed, this is an ancient practice, not one only of today: they blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is not blamed. Verse 228 There never was, there never will be, nor is there now, a person who is wholly blamed or wholly praised. Verse 229 But the man whom the wise praise, after observing him day after day, is one of flawless character, wise, and endowed with knowledge and virtue. Verse 230 Who can blame such a one, as worthy as a coin of refined gold? Even the gods praise him; by Brahma, too, is he praised.

But association with the wise is happy, like meeting one’s own kinsmen. Verse 208 Therefore, follow the Noble One, who is steadfast, wise, learned, dutiful and devout. One should follow only such a man, who is truly good and discerning, even as the moon follows the path of the stars.

Not by resorting to such a refuge is one released from all suffering.
