Jeta’s Grove

EN
“This is indeed that Jeta’s Grove, frequented by the Saṅgha of seers, where the King of Dhamma stayed: it brings me joy!
PL
“Idañhi taṁ jetavanaṁ, isisaṅghanisevitaṁ; Āvutthaṁ dhammarājena, pītisañjananaṁ mama.
EN
Deeds, knowledge, and principle; ethical conduct, an excellent livelihood; by these are mortals purified, not by clan or wealth.
PL
Kammaṁ vijjā ca dhammo ca, sīlaṁ jīvitamuttamaṁ; Etena maccā sujjhanti, na gottena dhanena vā.
EN
That’s why an astute person, seeing what’s good for themselves, would examine the teaching rationally, that’s how they become purified in that.
PL
Tasmā hi paṇḍito poso, sampassaṁ atthamattano; Yoniso vicine dhammaṁ, evaṁ tattha visujjhati.
EN
Sāriputta is full of wisdom, ethics, and peace. Even a mendicant who has crossed over might at best equal him.”
PL
Sāriputtova paññāya, sīlena upasamena ca; Yopi pāraṅgato bhikkhu, etāvaparamo siyā”ti.
