Saying of the Buddha 5

Life Is Dear To All
All tremble at the rod. All fear death. Feeling for others as for oneself, one should neither kill nor cause to kill.

A Religion To Practise
This is a religion for one to come and practise but not just to come and believe.

Evil-Doer Grieves
The evil-doer grieves here, he grieves hereafter. He grieves in both worlds. He grieves, he perishes with his own impure deed.

Vigilance and Negligence
Vigilance is the path to deathlessness. Negligence is the path to death. The vigilant do not die. The negligent are as if dead already.
