Creatures love happiness,so if you harm them with a stickin search of your own happiness,after death you won’t find happiness.

Don’t speak harshly,they may speak harshly back.For aggressive speech is painful,and the rod may spring back on you.
Māvoca pharusaṁ kañci,vuttā paṭivadeyyu taṁ;Dukkhā hi sārambhakathā,paṭidaṇḍā phuseyyu taṁ.
If you still yourselflike a broken gong,you reach extinguishmentand know no conflict.
Sace neresi attānaṁ,kaṁso upahato yathā;Esa pattosi nibbānaṁ,sārambho te na vijjati.

One who violently attacksthe peaceful and the innocentswiftly fallsto one of ten bad states:
Yo daṇḍena adaṇḍesu,appaduṭṭhesu dussati;Dasannamaññataraṁ ṭhānaṁ,khippameva nigacchati.

Not nudity, nor matted hair, nor mud,nor fasting, nor lying on bare ground,nor wearing dust and dirt, or squatting on the heels,will cleanse a mortal not free of doubt.

Dressed up they may be, but if they live well—peaceful, tamed, committed to the spiritual path,having laid aside violence toward all creatures—they are a brahmin, an ascetic, a mendicant.
Alaṅkato cepi samaṁ careyya,Santo danto niyato brahmacārī;Sabbesu bhūtesu nidhāya daṇḍaṁ,So brāhmaṇo so samaṇo sa bhikkhu.

Can a person constrained by consciencebe found in the world?Who shies away from blame,like a fine horse from the whip?
Hirīnisedho puriso,koci lokasmi vijjati;Yo niddaṁ apabodheti,asso bhadro kasāmiva.
Like a fine horse under the whip,be keen and full of urgency.With faith, ethics, and energy,immersion, and investigation of principles,accomplished in knowledge and conduct, mindful,give up this vast suffering.
Asso yathā bhadro kasāniviṭṭho,Ātāpino saṁvegino bhavātha;Saddhāya sīlena ca vīriyena ca,Samādhinā dhammavinicchayena ca;Sampannavijjācaraṇā patissatā,Jahissatha dukkhamidaṁ anappakaṁ.

While irrigators guide water,fletchers bend arrows straight,and carpenters bend timber straight,those true to their vows tame themselves.
Udakañhi nayanti nettikā,Usukārā namayanti tejanaṁ;Dāruṁ namayanti tacchakā,Attānaṁ damayanti subbatā.
