Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-wrought. If with an impure mind one speaks or
acts, suffering follows one like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.

Mind precedes all mental states. Mind is their chief; they are all mind wrought. If with a pure mind one speaks or acts,
happiness follows one like one's never-departing shadow.

"He abused me, he struck me, he overpowered me, he robbed me"--those who harbour such thoughts do not still their
hatred.

"He abused me, he struck me, he overpowered me, he robbed me"--those who do not harbour such thoughts still their
hatred.
005
Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world; by non-hatred alone is hatred appeased.

This is an Eternal Law.
007
There are those who do not realize that one day we all must die, but those who realize this settle their quarrels.
008
Just as a storm throws down a weak tree, so does Mara overpower the person who lives for the pursuit of pleasures,
who is uncontrolled in one's senses, immoderate in eating, indolent and dissipated.
009
Just as a storm cannot throw down a rocky mountain, so Mara can never overpower the person who lives meditating
on the impurities, who is controlled in one's senses, moderate in eating, and filled with faith and earnest effort.
010
Whoever being depraved, devoid of self-control and truthfulness, should don the monk's yellow robe, that person
surely is not worthy of the robe.
011
But whoever is purged of depravity, well established in virtues and filled with self-control and truthfulness, that person
indeed is worthy of the robe.
012
Those who mistake the unessential to be essential and the essential to be unessential dwelling in wrong thoughts, never
arrive at the essential.
013
Those who know the essential to be essential and the unessential to be unessential, dwelling in right thoughts, arrive at
the essential.

Just as the rain breaks through an ill- thatched house, even so passion penetrates an undeveloped mind.

Just as rain does not break through a well-thatched house, even so passion never penetrates a well-developed mind.
016
Evil-doers grieves here and hereafter; they grieve in both worlds. They lament and are afflicted, recollecting their own
impure deeds.
017
Doers of good rejoice here and hereafter; they rejoice in both worlds. They rejoice and exult, recollecting their own
pure deeds.
018
Evil-doers suffer here and hereafter; they suffer in both worlds. The thought, "Evil have I done," torments them, and
they suffer even more when gone to realms of woe.
019
Doers of good delight here and hereafter; they delight in both worlds. The thought, "Good have I done," delights them,
and they delight even more when gone to realms of bliss.
020
Much though one recites the sacred texts, but acts not accordingly, that heedless person is like a cowherd who only
counts the cows of others--one does not partake of the blessings of a holy life.
021
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 in this or any other world--one, indeed, partakes of the
blessings of a holy life.

Heedfulness
022
Heedfulness is the path to the Deathless, heedlessness is the path to death. The heedful die not, the heedless are
already dead.
023
Clearly understanding this excellence of heedfulness, the wise exult therein and enjoy the resort of the Noble Ones.
024
The wise ones, ever meditative and steadfastly persevering, experience Nibbana, the incomparable freedom from
bondage.
025
Ever grows the glory of one who is energetic, mindful and pure in conduct, discerning and self- controlled, righteous
and heedful.
026
By effort and heedfulness, discipline and self-mastery, let the wise one make for oneself an island which no flood can
overwhelm.
027
The foolish and ignorant indulge in heedlessness, but the wise one keeps one's heedfulness as one's best treasure.
028
Do not give way to heedlessness; do not indulge in sensual pleasures. Only the heedful and meditative attain great
happiness.

Just as one upon the summit of a mountain beholds the groundlings, even so when the wise person casts away
heedlessness by heedfulness and ascends the high tower of wisdom, this sorrowless sage beholds the sorrowing and
foolish multitude.
030
Heedful among the heedless, wide-awake among the sleepy, the wise person advances like a swift horse leaving
behind a weak nag.
031
By heedfulness did Indra become the overlord of the gods. Heedfulness is ever praised, and heedlessness ever
despised.
032
The renunciate who delights in heedfulness and looks with fear at heedlessness advances like fire, burning all fetters
small and large.
033
The renunciate who delights in heedfulness and looks with fear at heedlessness will not fall.
034
That person is close to Nibbana.
Heedfulness
The Mind
035
Just as a fletcher straightens an arrow shaft, even so the discerning person straightens one's mind--so fickle and
unsteady, so difficult to guard and control.
