He Who Craves Not
February 17, 2007
Venerable Wuling in Mindfulness

He is indeed virtuous,
wise and righteous
who neither for his own sake
nor for the sake of another
(does any wrong),
who craves not for sons, wealth or kingdom,
and does not desire success by unjust means. 

The Dhammapada
translated by Venerable Buddharakkhita
