10 - Punishment - The Dhammapada · Philosophy and Faith

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Chapter ten, punishment. All men tremble at punishment. All men
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: fear death. Remember that you are like unto them, and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: do not kill nor call slaughter. All men tremble at punishment.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: All men love life. Remember that thou art like unto them,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and do not kill nor call slaughter. He who seeking
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: his own happiness punishes or kills beings who also long
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: for happiness, will not find happiness after death. He who
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: seeking his own happiness does not punish or kill beings
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: who also long for happiness, will find happiness after death.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Speak harshly to anybody. Those who are spoken to will
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: answer THEE in the same way. Angry speech is painful.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Blows for blows will touch THEE. If, like a shattered
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: metal plate gong, thou utter not, then thou hast reached nirvana.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Contention is not known to THEE. As a cowherd with
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: his staff drives his cows into the stable, so do
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: age and death drive the life of men. A fool
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: does not know when he commits his evil deeds, but
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: the wicked man burns by his own deeds, as if
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: burnt by fire. He who inflicts pain on innocent and
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: harmless persons will soon come to one of these ten states,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: he will have cruel suffering, loss injury of the body,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: heavy affliction or loss of mind, or a misfortune coming
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: from the king, or a fearful accusation or loss of relations,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: or destruction of treasures, or lightning fire will burn his houses,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: and when his body is destroyed, the fool will go
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: to hell. Not nakedness, not plaited hair, not dirt, not
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: fasting or lying on the earth, not rubbing with dust,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: not sitting motionless, can purify a mortal who has not
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: overcome desires. He who, though dressed in fine apparel, exercises tranquility,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: is quiet, subdued, restrained, chaste, and has ceased to find
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: fault with all other beings. He, indeed is a bramina,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: an ascetic shramana, a friar ictuu. Is there in this
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: world any man so restrained by humility that he does
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: not mind reproof as a well trained horse the whip.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Like a well trained horse, when touched by the whip,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: be ye active and lively, and by faith, by virtue,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: by energy, by meditation, by discernment of the law, you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: will overcome this great pain of reproof. Perfect in knowledge
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and in behavior, and never forgetful. Well makers lead the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: water wherever they like. Fletchers bend the arrow, Carpenters bend
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a log of wood. Good people fashion themselves. End of
