Theragāthā — Versos dos Monges Anciãos — 3.7 — Vāraṇa

1Anyone among men
who harms other creatures:
that person will fall
both from this world and the next.

2But someone with a mind of love,
sympathetic for all creatures:
a person like that
brims with much merit.

3You should all train <j>to learn well-spoken words,
to attend closely to ascetics,
to sit alone in hidden places,
and to settle the mind.
