Buddha Vacana (June 11st 2555)

Abandon wrong.  It can be done.  If it were impossible to do, I would not urge you to do so.  But since it can be done, I say to you: ‘Abandon wrong.’

If abandoning wrong brought loss and sorrow, I would not urge you to do so.  But since it conduces to your benefit and happiness, I say to you: ‘Abandon wrong.’

Cultivate the good.  It can be done.  If it were impossible to do, I would not urge you to do so.  But since it can be done, I say to you: ‘Cultivate the good.’

If cultivating the good brought loss and sorrow, I would not urge you to do so.  But since it conduces to your benefit and happiness, I say to you: ‘Cultivate good.’

-- A.,58

ขอบคุณค่ะท่าน SR ได้ข้อคิด

[คนถางทาง]

บทนี้แปลกนะครับ เวอร์ชั่นภาษาไทยเราคือ ละชั่ว ทำดี ชำระำจิตใ้ห้บริสุทธิ์

ที่ว่าแปลกคือ แปลชั่ว ว่า wrong (แทน bad deeds)

ที่แ่ปลกอีกอย่างคือ ขาที่สามหายไป คือ purify the mind

Thank you for your kind comments.

The content is a "plain and simple English translation" of a verse from the tipitaka's book of Anguttara. The translator chooses to use simple words that even English people can understand the core concept of Buddhistic practice.

[As we can see that just purifying our mind can lead to "doing nothing at all".]

The purification of mind can be a result of "doing good" and "not doing wrong". It would not make sense to be inside "do good" land with "unpure thought/mind" ;D
