Dhammapada, Chapter 10: samenvatting
Chapter 10 van 26 · 2 min om chapter te lezen
In Chapter 10, shared fear of punishment and love of life become reasons to avoid killing, cruelty, and harsh speech, while harmful deeds bring suffering to those who commit them. The teaching then shifts toward inner restraint, alert practice, and self-discipline rather than outward signs of religious devotion.
Wat er gebeurt
- The teaching urges people to recognize others’ fear and love of life and to avoid killing or causing harm.
- It contrasts the happiness after death of those who avoid violence with the unhappiness of those who inflict it.
- Harsh speech invites painful replies, while freedom from conflict is compared to a broken gong’s silence.
- Age and Death drive human lives onward, and harmful deeds bring suffering upon their doers.
- Outward austerities cannot purify someone ruled by desire, while calm and restraint mark a true religious practitioner.
- The teaching urges alert effort and compares self-discipline to workers shaping water, arrows, and wood.
