Question 1

Dhammapada, Dichomoties, verse 1- 2

Answer 1

All experience is preceded by mind,
     Led by mind,
     Made by mind.
Speak or act with a corrupted mind,
     And suffering follows
As the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox.

All experience is preceded by mind,
     Led by mind,
     Made by mind.
Speak or act with a peaceful mind,
     And happiness follows,
Like a never-departing shadow.

Question 2

Dhammapada, Dichomoties, verses 5 - 6

Hatred never ends through hatred,
By non-hate alone does it end.
This is an ancient truth.

Many do not realize that
We here must die.
For those who realize this
Quarrels end.

Answer 3

Absorbed in meditation, persevering,
Always steadfast,
The wise touch Nibhanna,
The ultimate rest from toil.
