Buddha's words 11

The thoughts

The thoughts being ahead all

and everything have existence by the thoughts.

The thoughts are just what putting together in a straight line all.

By speaking and put the practice with pure thoughts,

his happiness is going with him

as the shadow is along with the form.“ Dhammapada ”No2

おもいはすべてにさき立ち

すべてはおもいに成る

おもいはすべてを統ぶ

きよらかなるおもいにて

かつ語りかつ行えば

形の影にそうごとく

たのしみ彼にしたがわん 『法句経』2
