Thag 2:42 Dhammapāla

Thag 2:42 Dhammapāla - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

The young monk
devoted to the Buddha’s message,
is wakeful among those who sleep.
	His life is not in vain.

So, intelligent,
one should commit oneself
to conviction & virtue,
confidence & Dhamma-vision,
	remembering the Buddhas’ message.
