Path of the Buddha's Teaching


The Pairs

Manopubbangamaa dhammaa

manosetthaa manomayaa

manasaa ce padutthena

bhaasati vaa karoti vaa

tato nam dukkhamanceti

cakkamva vahato padam.

All mental phenomena have mind as their fore-runner; they have mind as their chief; they are mind made.

If one speaks or acts with an evil mind, suffering follows him just as the wheel follows the hoof-print of the ox that draws the card
