Dhammapada: resumo de Chapter 16

O que acontece

1. A person who pursues vanity and pleasure rather than meditation comes to envy someone devoted to meditation.
2. The verses warn against attachment because separation from pleasant things and contact with unpleasant things cause pain.
3. Pleasure, affection, lust, love, and greed each produce grief and fear, while freedom from them removes both.
4. Virtue, intelligence, justice, truthfulness, and attention to one's own affairs make a person dear to others.
5. A content person who longs for Nirvana and remains unconfused by love receives the name urdhvamsrotas.
6. Good deeds greet a person passing into the next world as loved ones greet someone returning safely home.
