Phusatisutta

EN
“It doesn’t impact one who doesn’t impact others. It impacts one because they impact others. That’s why it impacts one who impacts, who wrongs one who’s done no wrong.”
PL
“Nāphusantaṁ phusati ca, phusantañca tato phuse; Tasmā phusantaṁ phusati, appaduṭṭhapadosinan”ti.
EN
“Whoever wrongs a man who has done no wrong, a pure man who has not a blemish, the evil backfires on the fool, like fine dust thrown upwind.”
PL
“Yo appaduṭṭhassa narassa dussati, Suddhassa posassa anaṅgaṇassa; Tameva bālaṁ pacceti pāpaṁ, Sukhumo rajo paṭivātaṁva khitto”ti.
