Dhammapada 51 - 52

Posted by drdoof on 10-06-2013, 7:22 PM :


Verse 51:
Just as a beautiful flower, lacking in scent,
cannot give the wearer the benefit of its scent,
so also, the well-preached words of the Buddha
cannot benefit one who does not practise the Dhamma

 
Verse 52:
Just as a flower, beautiful as well as fragrant,
will give the wearer the benefit of its scent,
so also, the well-preached words of the Buddha
will benefit one who practises the Dhamma
