The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom

Cease to do evil, learn to do good,

Purity the mind –

This is the teaching of the Buddhas.

 

Despising none, harming none.

Being restrained by the monastic rules.

Moderation in food, living in solitude

And devotion to meditation –

This is the teaching of the Buddhas.

 

Therefore, the meditation on love

Should be done oneself and others.

All should be suffused with love –

This is the teaching of the Buddhas.
