“Yo pubbe karaṇīyāni, pacchā so kātumicchati; Sukhā so dhaṁsate ṭhānā, pacchā ca manutappati.
Bakkula
Whoever wishes to do afterwards what they should have done before has lost the causes for happiness, and afterwards they’re tormented by regrets.
Yañhi kayirā tañhi vade, yaṁ na kayirā na taṁ vade; Akarontaṁ bhāsamānaṁ, parijānanti paṇḍitā.
You should only say what you would do; you shouldn’t say what you wouldn’t do. The wise will recognize one who talks without doing.
Susukhaṁ vata nibbānaṁ, sammāsambuddhadesitaṁ; Asokaṁ virajaṁ khemaṁ, yattha dukkhaṁ nirujjhatī”ti.
Oh! Extinguishment is so very blissful, as taught by the fully awakened Buddha: sorrowless, stainless, secure, where suffering all ceases.
