Ovāda Pātimokkha Gāthā



Heart of the Buddha's Teachings

Patient forbearance is the highest austerity.
Unbinding is highest: That's what the Buddhas say.
He is no monk who harms another,
nor a contemplative, he who oppresses another. 


The nondoing of all evil,
the performance of what is skillful,
the cleansing of one's own mind:
This is the Buddhas' teaching. 


Not reviling, not injuring,
restraint in the monastic code,
moderation in food,
dwelling in seclusion,
commitment to the heightened mind:
This is the Buddhas' teaching.
