Summary: Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā; manoseṭṭhā manomayā. Manasā ce pasannena bhāsati vā karoti vā, tato naṃ sukhamanveti chāyāva anapāyinī. Listen Mind precedes all things; mind is their chief, mind is their maker. If one speaks or does a deed with a mind that is pure within, happiness then follows along like a never departing shadow.
