                        Chapter IV Flowers 



     44。 Who shall overcome this earth�察�and the world of Yama ��the lord of 

the departed���察�and the world of the gods�拭           �Who shall find out the plainly 

shown path of virtue�察�as a clever man finds out the ��right�� flower�拭�

     45。 The disciple will overcome the earth�察�and the world of Yama�察�and 

the world of the gods。        The disciple will find out the plainly shown path 

of virtue�察�as a clever man finds out the ��right�� flower。 

     46。 He who knows that this body is like froth�察�and has learnt that it is 

as unsubstantial as a mirage�察�will break the flower´pointed arrow of Mara�察�

and never see the king of death。 

     47。 Death carries off a man who is gathering flowers and whose mind 

is distracted�察�as a flood carries off a sleeping village。 

     48。 Death subdues a man who is gathering flowers�察�and whose mind is 

distracted�察�before he is satiated in his pleasures。 

     49。 As the bee collects nectar and departs without injuring the flower�察�

or its colour or scent�察�so let a sage dwell in his village。 

     50。   Not   the   perversities   of   others�察  �not   their   sins   of   commission   or 

omission�察�but his own misdeeds and negligences should a sage take notice 

of。 

     51。 Like   a beautiful flower�察 �full   of colour�察 �but   without scent�察 �are the 

fine but fruitless words of him who does not act accordingly。 

     52。 But�察�like a beautiful flower�察�full of colour and full of scent�察�are the 

fine and fruitful words of him who acts accordingly。 

     53。 As many kinds of wreaths can be made from a heap of flowers�察�so 

many good things may be achieved by a mortal when once he is born。 

     54。 The scent of flowers does not travel against the wind�察�nor ��that of�� 

sandal´wood�察  �or   of   Tagara   and   Mallika   flowers�察  �but   the   odour   of   good 

people travels even against the wind�察�a good man pervades every place。 

     55。 Sandal´wood or Tagara�察�a lotus´flower�察�or a Vassiki�察�among these 

sorts of perfumes�察�the perfume of virtue is unsurpassed。 

     56。 Mean is the scent that comes from Tagara and sandal´wood��the 

perfume of those who possess virtue rises up to the gods as the highest。

     57。    Of   the   people    who     possess    these    virtues�察  �who     live  without 

thoughtlessness�察�and who are emancipated through true knowledge�察�Mara�察�

the tempter�察�never finds the way。 

     58�察 �59。 As   on   a   heap   of   rubbish   cast   upon   the  highway  the   lily  will 

grow   full   of   sweet   perfume   and   delight�察  �thus   the   disciple   of   the   truly 

enlightened Buddha shines forth by his knowledge among those who are 

like rubbish�察�among the people that walk in darkness。

                        Chapter V The Fool 



     60。 Long is the night to him who is awake�察�long is a mile to him who 

is tired�察�long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law。 

     61。 If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better�察�or his equal�察�

let him firmly keep to his solitary journey�察�there is no companionship with 

a fool。 

     62。  ;These   sons   belong to   me�察  �and   this   wealth   belongs   to   me�察─  �with 

such thoughts a fool is tormented。          He himself does not belong to himself�察�

how much less sons and wealth�拭�

     63。 The fool who knows his foolishness�察�is wise at least so far。               But a 

fool who thinks himself wise�察�he is called a fool indeed。 

     64。 If a fool be associated with a wise man even all his life�察�he will 

perceive the truth as little as a spoon perceives the taste of soup。 

     65。 If an intelligent man be associated for one minute only with a wise 

man�察�he will soon perceive the truth�察�as the tongue perceives the taste of 

soup。 

     66。   Fools   of   little   understanding   have   themselves   for   their   greatest 

enemies�察�for they do evil deeds which must bear bitter fruits。 

     67。 That deed is not well done of which a man must repent�察�and the 

reward of which he receives crying and with a tearful face。 

     68。 No�察�that deed is well done of which a man does not repent�察�and the 

reward of which he receives gladly and cheerfully。 

     69。 As long as the evil deed done does not bear fruit�察�the fool thinks it 

is like honey�察�but when it ripens�察�then the fool suffers grief。 

     70。 Let a fool month after month eat his food ��like an ascetic�� with the 

tip of a blade of Kusa grass�察�yet he is not worth the sixteenth particle of 

those who have well weighed the law。 

     71。 An   evil   deed�察  �like   newly´drawn   milk�察  �does   not   turn   ��suddenly���察�

smouldering�察�like fire covered by ashes�察�it follows the fool。 

     72。 And when the evil deed�察�after it has become known�察�brings sorrow 

to the fool�察�then it destroys his bright lot�察�nay�察�it cleaves his head。 

     73。 Let the fool wish for a false reputation�察�for precedence among the 



                                               8

Bhikshus�察�for lordship in the convents�察�for worship among other people� �

     74。 ;May both the layman and he who has left the world think that this 

is done   by   me�察  �may   they  be   subject to   me   in   everything   which   is   to   be 

done or is not to be done�察─�thus is the mind of the fool�察�and his desire and 

pride increase。 

     75。 ;One is the road that leads to wealth�察�another the road that leads to 

Nirvana�察─�if the Bhikshu�察�the disciple of Buddha�察�has learnt this�察�he will 

not yearn for honour�察�he will strive after separation from the world。

                Chapter VI The Wise Man 

                                  ��Pandita�� 



     76。 If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are 

to be found�察�who shows what is to be avoided�察�and administers reproofs�察�

follow  that   wise   man�察  �it   will   be   better�察  �not   worse�察  �for  those   who   follow 

him。 

     77。 Let him admonish�察�let him teach�察�let him forbid what is improper� � 

´he will be beloved of the good�察�by the bad he will be hated。 

     78。   Do   not   have   evil´doers   for   friends�察  �do   not   have   low   people   for 

friends�此�have virtuous people for friends�察�have for friends the best of men。 

     79。   He   who   drinks   in   the   law   lives   happily   with   a   serene   mind�此  �the 

sage rejoices always in the law�察�as preached by the elect ��Ariyas��。 

     80。 Well´makers lead the water ��wherever they like���察�fletchers bend the 

arrow�察�carpenters bend a log of wood�察�wise people fashion themselves。 

     81。 As a solid rock is not shaken by the wind�察�wise people falter not 

amidst blame and praise。 

     82。 Wise people�察�after they have listened to the laws�察�become serene�察�

like a deep�察�smooth�察�and still lake。 

     83。   Good   people   walk   on   whatever   befall�察  �the   good   do   not   prattle�察�

longing for pleasure�察�whether touched by happiness or sorrow wise people 

never appear elated or depressed。 

     84。   If�察  �whether   for   his   own   sake�察  �or   for   the   sake   of   others�察  �a   man 

wishes neither for a son�察�nor for wealth�察�nor for lordship�察�and if he does 

not wish for his own success by unfair means�察�then he is good�察�wise�察�and 

virtuous。 

     85。 Few are there among men who arrive at the other shore ��become 

Arhats���察�the other people here run up and down the shore。 

     86。   But   those   who�察  �when   the   law   has   been   well   preached   to   them�察�

follow the law�察�will pass across the dominion of death�察�however difficult to 

overcome。 

     87�察�88。 A wise man should leave the dark state ��of ordinary life���察�and 



                                               10

follow the bright state ��of the Bhikshu��。            After going from his home to a 

homeless state�察�he should in his retirement look for enjoyment where there 

seemed   to   be   no   enjoyment。     Leaving   all   pleasures   behind�察  �and   calling 

nothing his own�察�the wise man should purge himself from all the troubles 

of the mind。
