Theragāthā
Verses of the Senior Monks
Chapter of the Twos
2.42. Dhammapāla
The young monk
Who is devoted to the teaching of the Buddha,
Wakeful among those who sleep—
His life isn’t in vain.So let the wise devote themselves
To faith, virtuous behaviour,
Confidence, and insight into Dhamma,
Remembering the teachings of the Buddhas.
