Psalms of the Brethren CXXXI: Cunda the Great

by The Brethren of the Theragatha traditionally 6th–3rd century BCE; composition uncertain

Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)

Religion

The will to learn maketh of learning growth;
Learning makes insight grow, and by insight
We know the Good; known Good brings bliss along.

Seek ye the lonely haunts remote from men.
Practise the life of liberty from Bonds.
If there ye come not by your heart’s desire,
Dwell with the Brethren, mindful and controlled.
