Dhammapada Verses 316 & 317: Seeing
08/05/2026 | 35 mins.
Verse 316
Those who are ashamed of what they should not be ashamed of, and are not ashamed of what they should be ashamed of—upholding false views, they go to states of woe.

Verse 317
Those who see something to fear where there is nothing to fear, and see nothing to fear where there is something to fear—upholding false views, they go to states of woe.

Dhammapada Verse 315: Guarding The Moment
29/04/2026 | 33 mins.
Verse 315
Just as a border city is closely guarded both within and without, even so, guard yourself. Do not let slip this opportunity (for spiritual growth). For those who let slip this opportunity grieve indeed when consigned to hell.

Dhammapada Verse 314: Burning
24/04/2026 | 31 mins.
Verse 314
An evil deed is better left undone, for such a deed torments one afterwards. But a good deed is better done, doing which one repents not later.

Dhammapada Verses 311 - 313: As Grass Cuts the Hand
19/03/2026 | 32 mins.
Verse 311
Just as kusa grass wrongly handled cuts the hand, even so, a recluse’s life wrongly lived drags one to states of woe.

Verse 312
Any loose act, any corrupt observance, any life of questionable celibacy—none of these bear much fruit.

Verse 313
If anything is to be done, let one do it with sustained vigor. A lax monastic life stirs up the dust of passions all the more.

Dhammapada Verses 309 & 310: But Little Delight
12/03/2026 | 36 mins.
Verse 309
Four misfortunes befall the reckless man who consorts with another’s wife: acquisition of demerit, disturbed sleep, ill-repute, and (rebirth in) states of woe.

Verse 310
Such a man acquires demerit and an unhappy birth in the future. Brief is the pleasure of the frightened man and woman, and the king imposes heavy punishment. Hence, let no man consort with another’s wife.
