Few are the people
who reach the Far Shore.
These others
simply scurry along
this shore.But those who practice Dhamma
in line with the well-taught Dhamma,
will cross over the realm of Death
so hard to transcend.

Prince Vijaya's (the first Siṅhalese king's) ancestry came from Vaṅga and Kalinga (present-day Bangla/Bengal and Odisha). But, the Siṅhalese apparently feel no desire or duty to reintegrate with or protect the Theravāda communities near Kolkata, Chittagong, etc. Why?

"Na paresam vilomani
na paresam katakatam
attanova avekkheyya
katani akatani ca."( #Dhammapada , Paveyya ajivaka Vatthu)
One should not consider the faults of others, nor their doing or not doing good or bad deeds.
One should consider only whether one has done or not done good or bad deeds.#TheraWheel #Theravada #Buddhism #Dhamma #Darma #PaliCanon #Buddha #Buddhistcafe

"Saccaṁ bhaṇe, na kujjheyya,
dajjāppasmim-pi yācito,
etehi tīhi ṭhānehi
gacche devāna’ santike."(Dhammapada, Mahamoggallanapanha Vatthu)
One should utter the truth.
One should not be angry.
One should give even
from a scanty store to him who asks.
Along these three paths,
one may go to the presence of the gods.#TheraWheel #Theravada #Buddhism #Dhammapada #Dhamma #Darma #PaliCanon #Buddha #Buddhistcafe

"Yathāpi mūle anupaddave daḷhe,
chinnopi rukkho punareva rūhati;
Evampi taṇhānusaye anūhate,
nibbattatī dukkhamidaṃ punappunaṃ."(Dhammapada, Tanhavagga)
As roots remain undamaged and strong,
Even a tree, when cut down grows again,
In the same way, as long as the latent tendency of craving is not rooted out,
Dukkha (of birth, ageing, and death) will spring up again and again.#TheraWheel #Theravada #Buddhism #Dhammapada #Dhamma #Darma #PaliCanon #Buddha #Buddhistcafe

"Natthi ragasamo aggi

natthi khandhasama dukkha
natthi santiparam sukham."( #Dhammapada , Sukhavagga)
There is no fire like passion; there is no evil like hatred; there is no ill like (the burden of) khandhas; there is no bliss that surpasses the Perfect Peace (Nibbana).

"Atta hi attano natho
ko hi natho paro siya
attana hi sudantena
natham labhati dullabham."
( #Dhammapada , Athma / Atta Vagga )One indeed is one's own refuge; how can others be a refuge to one? With oneself thoroughly tamed, one can attain a refuge (Arahatta Phala), which is so difficult to attain.

"Manujassa pamattacārino
taṇhā vaḍḍhati māluvā viya,
so palavatī hurāhuraṁ
phalam-icchaṁ va vanasmi’ vānaro."(Dhammapada, Taṇhāvaggo)
For a human who lives life heedlessly
craving increases like a clinging creeper,
He rushes from one place to another
like a monkey desiring fruit in the forest.#TheraWheel #Theravada #Buddhism #Dhammapada #Dhamma #Darma #PaliCanon #Buddha #Buddhistcafe

"Idha tappati pecca tappati
pāpakārī ubhayattha tappati
Pāpam me kataŋ’ti tappati
bhiyyo tappati duggatim gato"(Dhammapada Verse 17, Devadatta Vatthu)
Agony now, agony hereafter,
the wrongdoer suffers agony in both worlds.
Agonised now by the knowledge that he has done wrong,
he suffers more agony, gone to a state of woe.#TheraWheel #Theravada #Buddhism #Dhammapada #Dhamma #Darma #PaliCanon #Buddha #Buddhistcafe

So also, passion (raga) cannot penetrate
a mind well-cultivated in Tranquillity and Insight Development (Samatha and Vipassana).#TheraWheel #Theravada #Buddhism #Dhammapada #Dhamma #Darma #PaliCanon #Buddha #Buddhistcafe

"na jaccā vasalo hoti - na jaccā hoti brāhmaṇo
kammanā vasalo hoti - kammanā hoti brāhmaṇo"A person is not an outcaste by birth, nor is he a noble individual merely by birth.
It is through actions that one becomes an outcaste, and through actions, one becomes a noble person.- Lord Buddha -
