The disciples of Gotama
always wake up refreshed,
whose minds day and night
delight in meditation.
Going forth is hard, it’s hard to be happy;
life at home is hard too, and painful,
it’s painful to stay when you’ve nothing in common.
A traveler is a prey to pain,
so don’t be a traveler,
don’t be prey to pain.
One who is faithful, accomplished in ethics,
blessed with fame and wealth,
is honored in whatever place
they frequent.
The good shine from afar,
like the Himalayan peaks,
but the wicked are not seen,
like arrows scattered in the night.
Sitting alone, sleeping alone,
tirelessly wandering alone;
one who tames themselves alone
would delight within a forest.
Minor Collection Sayings of the Dhamma 306–319 22. Hell
A liar goes to hell,
as does one who denies what they did.
Both are equal in the hereafter,
those men of base deeds.
Many who wear a scrap of ocher cloth
are unrestrained and wicked.
Being wicked, they are reborn in hell
due to their bad deeds.
