Dhammapada Verses 143 and 144: A Thoroughbred

from Dhammapada Part I Hosted by Yuttadhammo Bhikkhu

Verse 143 Only rarely is there a man in this world who, restrained by modesty, avoids reproach, as a thoroughbred horse avoids the whip. Verse 144 Like a thoroughbred horse touched by the whip, be strenuous, be filled with spiritual yearning. By faith and moral purity, by effort and meditation, by investigation of the truth, by being rich in knowledge and virtue, and by being mindful, destroy this unlimited suffering.
