Selected Verses from the Dhammapada
Translated by P. Lal...Chapter: Impurity...page 124




How will he destroy his own passions,
who rouses them by watching other's faults,
who is forever finding something to condemn?

There is no path in the sky,
there is no refuge anywhere!
All is of the world, worldly-
only the Buddhas are free of the world.

There is no path in the sky,
there is no refuge anywhere!
Nothing in the changing world is unchanging-
only the Buddhas are free from change.
