The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom
Unsurpassed is the Lord’s way of teaching the Dhamma concerning one’s proper conduct in virtue. One should be honest and faithful, withour deception, chatter, hinting or belifting, not always ready to add gain to gain, but with the sense-doors guarded, moderate in food, a maker of peace, observant, active and strenuous in effort, a meditator, mindful, with proper conversation, steady-going, resolute and sensible, not hankering after sense plleasures, but mindful and prudent. Thid is the unsurpassed teaching concerning a person’s proper ethical conduct. This the lord fully comprehends and beyond it nothing lies to be further comprehended. And in such matters there is no other recluse or Brãhmin who is greater or more enlightened than the Lord concerning ethical conduct.
