July 26, 2025 Daily Words of the Buddha for July 27, 2025

Idha socati pecca socati;
pāpakārī ubhayattha socati.
So socati so vihaññati,
disvā kammakiliṭṭhamattano.
Listen

The evil-doer grieves here and hereafter;
one grieves in both the worlds.
One laments and is afflicted,
recollecting one's own impure deeds.

Yadā have pātubhavanti dhammā
Ātāpino jhāyato brāhmaṇassa,

When things become manifest
To the ardent meditating brahmin,
All one's doubts then vanish since one understands
Each thing along with its cause.

Yathā agāraṃ ducchannaṃ vuṭṭhī samativijjhati,

Atītaṃ nānusocanti,

they yearn not for what is to come,
they maintain themselves in the present,
thus their complexion is serene.

Kāyena saṃvaro sādhu; sādhu vācāya saṃvaro;
manasā saṃvaro sādhu. Sādhu sabbattha saṃvaro.
Sabbattha saṃvuto bhikkhu
sabbadukkhā pamuccati.

Good is restraint in the body; good is restraint in speech;
good is restraint in thought. Restraint everywhere is good.
The monk restrained in every way
is freed from all suffering.

Cakkhumā,
visamānīva,
vijjamāne parakkame.
Paṇḍito jīvalokasmiṃ,
pāpāni parivajjaye.

Muñca pure, muñca pacchato,

Let go of the past, let go of the future,
let go of the present, and cross over to the farther shore of existence.
With mind wholly liberated,

One who has reached the further shore.
