The Dhamma Jewel Protects

'The evil-doer grieves here and hereafter; 
he grieves in both the worlds.
He laments and is afflicted, 
recollecting his own impure deeds.'

'The doer of good rejoices here and hereafter;
he rejoices in both the worlds.
He rejoices and exults,
recollecting his own pure deeds.'

'He who drinks deep the Dhamma
lives happily with a tranquil mind.
The wise man ever delights in the Dhamma
made known by the Noble One (the Buddha).'

- Dhammapada Verse 15, 16 & 79

'Energetic and heedful in his tasks,
Wisely administering his wealth,
He lives a balanced life,
Protecting what he has amassed.

Endowed with faith and virtue too,
Generous he is and free from avarice;
He ever works to clear the path
That leads to weal in future life.

Thus to the layman full of faith,
By him, so truly named 'Enlightened,'
These eight conditions have been told
Which now and after lead to bliss.'
