Daily Words of the Buddha

Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā, manoseṭṭhā manomayā. Manasā ce paduṭṭhena bhāsati vā karoti vā, tato naṃ dukkhamanveti cakkaṃva vahato padaṃ. Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā, manoseṭṭhā manomayā. Manasā ce pasannena bhāsati vā karoti vā, tato naṃ sukhamanveti chāyāva anapāyinī. Listen Mind precedes all phenomena, mind matters most, everything is mind-made. If with an impure mind one performs any action of speech or body, then suffering will follow that person as the cartwheel follows the foot of the draught animal. Mind precedes all phenomena, mind matters most, everything is mind-made. If with a pure mind one performs any action of speech or body, then happiness will follow that person as a shadow that never departs.

Sace bhāyatha dukkhassa, sace vo dukkhamappiyaṃ, mākattha pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, āvi vā yadi vā raho. Sace ca pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, karissatha karotha vā, Na vo dukkhā pamutyatthi: upeccapi palāyataṃ. Listen If you fear pain, if you dislike pain, don't do an evil deed in open or secret. If you're doing or will do an evil deed, you won't escape pain: it will catch you even as you run away.
