Daily Words of the Buddha for May 12, 2024

Chandā dosā bhayā mohā, Yo dhammaṃ ativattati, Nihīyati yaso tassa Kāḷapakkheva candimā. Chandā dosā bhayā mohā, Yo dhammaṃ nātivattati, Āpūrati yaso tassa Sukkapakkheva candimā. Listen Whoever through desire, hate or fear, Or ignorance should transgress the Dhamma, All one's glory fades away Like the moon during the waning half. Whoever through desire, hate or fear, Or ignorance never transgresses the Dhamma, All one's glory ever increases Like the moon during the waxing half.
