By effort and heedfulness,
discipline and self-mastery,
let the wise one make for himself
an island which no flood can overwhelm.

mind matters most, everything is mind-made.
If with an impure mind
one performs any action of speech or body,
then suffering will follow that person
as the cartwheel follows the foot of the draught animal.

Mind precedes all phenomena,
mind matters most, everything is mind-made.
If with a pure mind
one performs any action of speech or body,
then happiness will follow that person
as a shadow that never departs.

Good are friends when need arises;
good is contentment with just what one has;
good is merit when life is at an end,
and good is the abandoning of all suffering.

Calm is his thought, calm his speech,
and calm his deed, who, truly knowing,
is wholly freed, perfectly tranquil and wise.

He is not noble who injures living beings.
He is called “noble” because
he is harmless towards all living beings.

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm,
even so the wise are not affected by praise or blame.

There are those who do not realize
that one day we all must die.
But those who do realize this
settle their quarrels.

Easy to do are things
that are bad and harmful to oneself.
But exceedingly difficult to do
are things that are good and beneficial.
