- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras/questions: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- As the rich merchant with few servants
- Shuns a dangerous road
- And the man who loves life shuns poison,
- Beware the dangers of folly and mischief.
- For an unwounded hand may handle poison.
- The innocent come to no harm.
- But as dust thrown against the wind,
- Mischief is blown back in the face
- Of the fool who wrongs the pure and harmless.
- Some are reborn in hell,
- Some in this world,
- The good in heaven.
- But the pure are not born at all.
- Nowhere!
- Not in the sky,
- Nor in the midst of the sea,
- Nor deep in the mountains,
- Can you hide from your own mischief.
- Not in the sky,
- Nor in the midst of the ocean,
- Nor deep in the mountains,
- Nowhere can you hide from your own death.
