Ye jhânapasutâ dhîrâ
nekkhammûpasame ratâ
devâ pi tesam pihayanti
sambuddhânam satîmatam
Even gods hold dear those, who being alert and
wise, are keen on meditation, and delight in renunciation


Kiccho manussapatilâbho
kiccham maccâna jîvitam
kiccham saddhammasavanam
kiccho buddhânam uppâdo
Hard it is to be born as a human being. Hard is the life of mortals. The opportunity to listen to the Dhamma does not come easily. Rare is the birth of the Buddhas


Dullabho purisâjañño
na so sabbattha jâyati
yattha so jâyatî dhîro
tam kulam sukhamedhati
Hard it is to be born as a human being. Hard is the life of mortals. The opportunity to listen to the Dhamma does not come easily. Rare is the birth of the Buddhas


Pathavyâ ekarajjena
saggassa gamanena vâ
sabbalokâdhipaccena
sotâpattiphalam varam
Superior indeed is the Fruit and Stream entry to sovereignty over the whole earth, heavenly bliss and authority over all worlds
