Selected Verses from the Dhammapada
Translated by P. Lal...Chapter: Ten Twin Verses...page 42




Words do not matter; what matters is Dhamma.
What matters is action rightly performed,
after lust, hate, and folly are abandoned,
with true knowledge and serene mind,
and complete detachment from the fruit of action.
