The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom
Abandon wrong. It can be done. If it were impossible to do, I would not urge you to do so. But since it can be done, I say to you: “Abandon wrong.” If abandoning wrong brought loss and sorrow, I would not urge you to do so. But since it conduces to benefit and happiness, I urge you: “Abandon wrong.” Cultivate the good. It can be done. If it were impossible to do, I would not urge you to do so. But since it can be done, I say to you: “Cultivate the good.” If cultivating the good brought loss and sorrow, I would not urge you to do so. But since it conduces to benefit and happiness, I urge you: “Cultivate good.”
