Dhammapada, Dhamma Verses (KN 2)

15: The Chapter about Happiness – 89
Mattāsukhapariccāgā, passe ce vipulaṁ sukhaṁ,
If, by renouncing a small good, he might see a good that is large,
caje mattāsukhaṁ dhīro, sampassaṁ vipulaṁ sukhaṁ. [290]
the wise one should renounce that small good, seeing the good that is extensive.
Paradukkhūpadānena attano sukham-icchati,
One who desires happiness for oneself by causing suffering for another,
verasaṁsaggasaṁsaṭṭho, verā so na parimuccati. [291]
being associated thus with hatred, is not fully released from that hatred.
Idaṁ pure cittam-acāri cārikaṁ
Formerly this wandering mind wandered
yenicchakaṁ yatthakāmaṁ yathāsukhaṁ,
through desire, pleasure and happiness,
tad-ajjahaṁ niggahessāmi yoniso,
(but) today I will control it wisely,
hatthim-pabhinnaṁ viya aṅkusaggaho. [326]
like one with goad an elephant in rut.
Atthamhi jātamhi sukhā sahāyā,
Friends are good whenever need arises,
tuṭṭhī sukhā yā itarītarena,
being content with everything is good,
puññaṁ sukhaṁ jīvitasaṅkhayamhi,
at the break-up of life merit is good,
sabbassa dukkhassa sukhaṁ pahāṇaṁ. [331]
the abandoning of all suffering is good.
Sukhā matteyyatā loke, atho petteyyatā sukhā,
Respecting one’s mother is good in the world, also respecting one’s father is good,
sukhā sāmaññatā loke, atho brahmaññatā sukhā. [332]
respecting ascetics is good in the world, also respecting (true) brahmins is good.
