Ud 4:6 Piṇḍola (Piṇḍola Sutta)

Ud 4:6 Piṇḍola (Piṇḍola Sutta) - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Not disparaging, not injuring,

restraint      in line with the Pāṭimokkha,

moderation      in food,

dwelling      in seclusion,

commitment to the heightened mind:

this is the teaching

of the Awakened.1

Notes

1. This verse also occurs at Dhp 185, where it forms part of a set including Dhp 183—184:

The non-doing      of any evil,

the performance      of what’s skillful,

the cleansing      of one’s own mind:

this is the teaching

of the Awakened.

Patient endurance:

the foremost austerity.

Unbinding:

the foremost,

so say the Awakened.

He who injures another

is no contemplative.

He who mistreats another,

no monk.
