Dhammapada, Dhamma Verses (KN 2)

25: The Chapter about Monastics – 131
Dhammārāmo Dhammarato, Dhammaṁ anuvicintayaṁ,
The one who finds pleasure in the Dhamma, delights in Dhamma, reflects on Dhamma,
Dhammaṁ anussaraṁ bhikkhu, Saddhammā na parihāyati. [364]
the monastic who remembers Dhamma, does not abandon the Good Dhamma.
Salābhaṁ nātimaññeyya, nāññesaṁ pihayaṁ care,
One should not despise one’s own gains, one should not live envious of others,
aññesaṁ pihayaṁ bhikkhu samādhiṁ nādhigacchati. [365]
the monastic who is envious of others does not attain concentration.
Appalābho pi ce bhikkhu salābhaṁ nātimaññati,
Even if a monastic gains little he should not despise his gains,
taṁ ve devā pasaṁsanti suddhājīviṁ atanditaṁ. [366]
even the very gods praise the one of pure life who is diligent.
Sabbaso nāmarūpasmiṁ yassa natthi mamāyitaṁ,
The one who does not have fondness at all for mind and body,
asatā ca na socati, sa ve bhikkhū ti vuccati. [367]
and who grieves not for what does not exist, is surely called a monastic.
Mettāvihārī yo bhikkhu, pasanno Buddhasāsane,
That monastic who dwells in loving-kindness, with faith in Buddha’s dispensation,
adhigacche padaṁ santaṁ, saṅkhārūpasamaṁ sukhaṁ. [368]
should attain the state of peace, the joy in stilling of (all) conditions.
Siñca bhikkhu imaṁ nāvaṁ, sittā te lahum-essati,
Please bail out this boat, monastic, when bailed out it will go lightly,
chetvā rāgañ-ca dosañ-ca, tato Nibbānam-ehisi. [369]
cutting off passion and hatred, from here one will go to Nibbāna.
