Dhammapada 18-19

The Dhammapada. The Twin-Verses.

VERSE 18The virtuous man is happy in this world, and he is happy in the next; he is happy in both. He is happy when he thinks of the good he has done; he is still more happy when going on the good path.

VERSE 19The thoughtless man, even if he can recite a large portion (of the law), but is not a doer of it, has no share in the priesthood, but is like a cowherd counting the cows of others.

May all beings be happy and at peace.
