Dhammapada Verses 246 - 248: Uprooted

from Dhammapada Part II Hosted by Yuttadhammo Bhikkhu

Verse 246 & 247 One who destroys life, utters lies, takes what is not given, goes to another man’s wife, and is addicted to intoxicating drinks—such a man digs up his own root even in this world. Verse 248 Know this, O good man: evil things are difficult to control. Let not greed and wickedness drag you to protracted misery.
