Words of Dhamma

 

Ciraṃ tiṭṭhatu saddhammo, dhamme hontu sagāravo. Sabbe pi sattā kālena, sammā devo pavassatu.

 

- May the pure Dhamma endure for a long time. May all people have feelings of reverence and veneration towards Dhamma.
May the god of rain cause rain to fall on all beings at the proper time.

Words of Dhamma

 

Yo dhammaladdhassa dadāti dānaṃ, uṭṭhānaviriyādhigatassa jantu. Atikkamma so vetaraṇiṃ yamassa, dibbāni ṭhānāni upeti maccho.

 

- One who gives dāna to a righteous person firmly established on the path of liberation with right effort, crosses the river of Yama (death) and goes to a celestial place.

Tiṇṇaṃ, bhikkhave, pātubhāvo dullabho lokasmiṃ. Katamesaṃ tiṇṇaṃ?

Words of Dhamma

Leṇatthañca sukhatthañca,
jhāyituñca vipassituṃ.
Vihāradānaṃ saṅghassa,
aggaṃ Buddhena vaṇṇitaṃ.

Tasmā hi paṇḍito poso,
sampassaṃ atthamattano.
Vihāre kāraye ramme,
vāsayettha bahussute.

Vol.8 No.2 February 11, 1998

Words of Dhamma

 

Nābhinandāmi maraṇaṃ,
nābhinandāmi jīvitaṃ.
Nikkhipissaṃ imaṃ kāyaṃ,
sampajāno paṭissato.

I do not long for death nor do I desire to be alive.
(When the time comes) I shall leave this body
with mindfulness and insight into its impermanent nature at the level of sensation.

Vol.8 No.1 January 12, 1998

Words of Dhamma

 

Sabbe saṅkhārā aniccā' ti,
Yadā paññāya passati;
Atha nibbindati dukkhe,
Esa maggo visuddhiyā.

Impermanent are all compounded things.
When one perceives this with true insight,
one becomes detached from suffering;
this is the path of purification.
