“Dhamma surely protects <j>one who practices Dhamma.“Dhammo have rakkhati dhammacāriṁ, The teaching brings happiness when practiced well.Dhammo suciṇṇo sukhamāvahati; This is the benefit of practicing Dhamma:Esānisaṁso dhamme suciṇṇe, one doesn’t go to a bad destination.Na duggatiṁ gacchati dhammacārī.

It’s not the case that Dhamma <j>and what is not DhammaNa hi dhammo adhammo ca, lead to the same results.ubho samavipākino; What is not Dhamma leads to hell,Adhammo nirayaṁ neti, while Dhamma takes you to a good place.dhammo pāpeti suggatiṁ.

So you should rouse up enthusiasm for the teachings;Tasmā hi dhammesu kareyya chandaṁ, such rejoicing is owing to the Holy One, <j>the unaffected.Iti modamāno sugatena tādinā; The disciples of the excellent Holy One <j>are firm in the teaching;Dhamme ṭhitā sugatavarassa sāvakā, those attentive ones are led on, <j>headed to the very best of refuges.”Nīyanti dhīrā saraṇavaraggagāmino”.

“The boil has been burst from its root,“Vipphoṭito gaṇḍamūlo, the net of craving is eradicated.Taṇhājālo samūhato; He has ended transmigration, he has nothing,So khīṇasaṁsāro na catthi kiñcanaṁ, he’s like the full moon on a bright night.”Cando yathā dosinā puṇṇamāsiyan”ti.
