This Dhammapada Quote Emphasizes how true peace and fulfillment come not from just talking about kindness, compassion, and mindfulness, but by truly living them. The Buddha said this in Verse during the time at Jetavana Monastery in Savatthi – India seeing the story about two monks. • The Story of Two Monks 📖 • These two monks, both from noble families, had chosen different paths in their spiritual journeys. The first monk devoted himself to studying and memorizing the sacred texts. He became highly knowledgeable, able to teach and guide five hundred monks and oversee the instruction of eighteen groups. The other monk, however, focused deeply on meditation and dedicated himself to Insight Meditation, ultimately becoming an arahant (achieve enlightenment), while gaining deep understanding. • One day, the second monk visited the Jetavana monastery to pay his homage to the Buddha. By chance, he encountered his old friend, the learned monk. The learned monk, unaware of his friend’s enlightenment, viewed him as unremarkable and of limited knowledge of the sacred texts. With a touch of pride, he considered asking him difficult questions, hoping to highlight his superiority. • The Buddha Saw this unkind thought, and he also knew that as a result of giving trouble to such a noble disciple of his, the learned bhikkhu would be reborn in hell. the Buddha, with his infinite compassion, decided to intervene. He approached both monks and, instead of allowing the learned monk to question his friend, the Buddha himself asked questions. The Buddha’s questions, focused on profound levels of meditation and spiritual paths, left the learned monk unable to respond, as he had not yet fully practiced what he had taught. However, the other monk, through his dedicated practice and insight, answered each question with clarity. • The Buddha then praised the meditative monk for his dedication to practicing Dhamma, emphasizing that genuine understanding comes through experience rather than mere words. His silence regarding the learned monk puzzled the disciples who could not understand why their learned teacher had received no praise. • The Buddha explained that a person who only studies without practicing is like a cowherd who watches over another’s cattle for wages. he does not benefit directly from the cows’ produce. In contrast, the one who truly practices Dhamma is like the owner who enjoys the full fruits of the cows, benefiting from their five products (Milk, cream, butter, buttermilk, and ghee). Thus, the learned monk enjoys only the services rendered to him by his pupils but not the benefits of enlightenment. The meditative monk, although he knew fewer texts, had embraced the core of Dhamma, and having practiced diligently and strenuously, is an “Anudhammacari” (one who practices in conformity with the Dhamma), freeing his mind from attachment, he abandons passion, hatred, and delusion. He had truly reaped the fruits of the path to enlightenment. • Then the Buddha spoke in two verses as follows: • ⭕ Verse 19: Even though the negligent person preaches much Dhamma to others, he does not practice accordingly. He is like a cowherd who only counts the cows of others. He does not attain the stages of enlightenment as a monk. • ⭕ Verse 20: Even if the person practicing Dhamma preaches little to others, he lives according to Dhamma. With developed knowledge and a well-freed mind, he abandons passion, hatred, and delusion. Not clinging to anything in this world or the next, he attains the stages of enlightenment as a monk. • ✨ Original Pali Language Verse: • Appampi ce Samhita bhasamano, • Dhammassa hoti anudhammacari; • Raganca dosanca pahaya moham, • Sammappajano suvimuttacitto; • Anupadiyano idha va huram va, • Sa bhagava samannassa hoti. • 🎬 Video Location: Kumbalwela, Ella, Sri lanka • 📖 Chapter: Dhammapada Verse 20 – Pairs Chapter (Yamakavagga) • 💁♂️ Source: Dhammapada, Khuddaka Nikaya, Pali Canon/Tripitaka (UNESCO World Heritage). • 🔔 Subscribe for more insights and positivity! • #DhammaPractice #BuddhistTeachings #PathToEnlightenment #InnerPeace #Mindfulness #LettingGo #LivingDhamma #Enlightenment #WisdomAndCompassion #BuddhaWisdom #PeacefulMind #SpiritualAwakening #BuddhistPhilosophy #MindfulLiving #FreedomFromAttachment #PracticeNotPreach #BuddhasPath #FreedomFromDesire #MeditationInAction #FindingHappiness
