Daily Words Of The Buddha

Na jacc? vasalo hoti
na jacc? hoti br?hma?o.
Kammun? vasalo hoti,
kammun? hoti br?hma?o
Listen

One is not low because of birth
nor does birth make one holy.
Deeds alone make one low,
deeds alone make one holy.

If one, longing for sensual pleasure,

the pleasures diminish,
one's shattered, as if shot with an arrow.
