Dhammapada 365 - 366

Posted by drdoof on 12-07-2013, 8:13 AM :


Verse 365:
One should not despise,
what one has received (by proper means),
nor should one envy others their gains.
The Bhikkhu, who envies others
cannot attain Concentration (samādhi).


Verse 366:
Though he receives only a little,
if a Bhikkhu does not despise,
what he has received (by proper means),
the devas will surely praise him
who leads a pure life and is not slothful.
