Daily Words of the Buddha

Appampi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno, dhammassa hoti anudhammacārī, rāgañca, dosañca, pahāya mohaṃ, sammappajāno suvimuttacitto, anupādiyāno idha vā huraṃ vā, sa bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti. Listen Little though one recites the sacred texts, but puts the Teaching into practice, forsaking lust, hatred, and delusion, with true wisdom and emancipated mind, clinging to nothing of this or any other world -- one indeed partakes of the blessings of a holy life.
