Dhammapada Pairs Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. For free distribution only.

Phenomena are preceded by the heart, ruled by the heart, made of the heart. If you speak or act with a corrupted heart, then suffering follows you -- as the wheel of the cart, the track of the ox that pulls it.

法为心所引导 为心所左右 因心而生现 若以邪恶之心言行， 痛苦将随之而来， 犹如车轮跟随牛的足印

Phenomena are preceded by the heart, ruled by the heart, made of the heart. If you speak or act with a calm, bright heart, then happiness follows you, like a shadow that never leaves.

法为心所引导 为心所左右 因心而生现 若以清净光明之心言行， 则安乐常伴 如影随形

He insulted me, hit me, beat me, robbed me' for those who brood on this, hostility isn't stilled.

他辱骂我 打我 击败我 掠夺我 若人沉溺于此 则怨恨不能止息

He insulted me, hit me, beat me, robbed me' -- for those who don't brood on this, hostility is stilled. 他辱骂我 打我 击败我 掠夺我 若人沉溺于此 则怨恨不能止息

Hostilities aren't stilled through hostility, regardless. Hostilities are stilled through non-hostility: this, an unending truth. 无论如何，我们不能以敌意消灭敌意，停止敌意最好的方式恰恰是非敌意的，这是无限的真理。

Unlike those who don't realize that we're here on the verge of perishing, those who do: their quarrels are stilled.

不像那些没有意识到处于毁灭边缘的人，明智之人已经不再做无谓的争执。

Heedfulness: the path to the Deathless. Heedlessness: the path to death. The heedful do not die. The heedless are as if already dead. 无逸乃通向永恒的道路，放逸则蹈入死途。无逸者长存不朽，放逸者虽生犹灭。

Knowing this as a true distinction, those wise in heedfulness rejoice in heedfulness, enjoying the range of the noble ones. 感悟这一天壤之别，于无逸中获得智慧与法乐，而愉悦于其中的圣境。

The enlightened, constantly absorbed in jhana, persevering, firm in their effort: they touch Unbinding, the unexcelled rest from the yoke. 智者常贯注于禅定，坚忍不拔的致力于自我努力。他们将从束缚中得以解脱，并获得无上的法乐。

Those with initiative, mindful, clean in action, acting with due consideration, heedful, restrained, living the Dhamma: their glory grows. 首先留意清净自己的行为，深思熟虑并克己的行止于法地，他们的荣耀与日俱增。

Through initiative, heedfulness, restraint, & self-control, the wise would make an island no flood can submerge. 当奋勉而无逸，克己并自我调御时，产生的智慧将如岛屿般不为洪水所动摇。

They're addicted to heedlessness -- dullards, fools -- while one who is wise cherishes heedfulness as his highest wealth. 那些沉溺于放逸之徒，堕入愚痴的暗地；而明智之人谨守无逸，并珍视为无价的财富。

Don't give way to heedlessness or to intimacy with sensual delight -- for a heedf ul person, absorbed in jhana, attains an abundance of ease. 不要放逸自己，沉溺于感官的欲乐；唯无逸之人，全神贯注于禅定，以获得无尽的安宁。

Heedful among the heedless, wakeful among those asleep, just as a fast horse advances, leaving the weak behind: so the wise. 无逸之于放逸，如醒者置于昏睡者中间；骏马驰驱于驽马之中，智者如是。

Like a fish pulled from its home in the water & thrown on land: this mind flips & flaps about to escape Mara's sway. 正如鱼从水中抛向陆地时一样，此心亦战栗着摆脱魔的支配。

Hard to hold down, nimble, alighting wherever it likes: the mind. Its taming is good. The mind well-tamed brings ease. 难以制伏的欲念，燃烧着心，驯良你的心，驯良的心方能带来真正的安宁。

The mind protected brings ease. Wandering far, going alone, bodiless, lying in a cave: the mind. Those who restrain it: from Mara's bonds they'll be freed. 善护持的内心带来真正的安乐，身体虽独自漫步于遥远的路途，却长处于黑暗的洞穴，唯有抑制自己的心，才能摆脱来自心魔的镣铐。

心是漂浮不定的 难以控制，难以防护 智者训练其心，使它正直 如矢师矫正箭一般。

如把水中鱼取出投掷于地时， 它会跳跃不安； 当把心带离欲界以脱离魔界时， 它亦跳跃不安。

心难以受到控制， 它非常迅捷轻浮， 随着喜好飘荡与停留。 能训练心是很好的， 因为已受到训练的心能带来快乐。

心是非常难以察见的， 它极度的微细， 随着喜好飘荡与停留。 且让智者防护其心， 因为受到防护的心能带来快乐。

心独自四处飘荡远游， 它是无色的，住于心室。 能制伏己心的人， 得以解脱魔王的束缚。

若某人的心不安定， 对正法无知， 信心动摇不定， 其智慧决不会获得圆满。

若某人的心已无贪无嗔， 若他已舍弃善恶两者， 如此警觉之人是没有怖畏的。

一　诸法意先导，意主意造作。若以染污意，或语或行业，是则苦随彼，如轮随兽足。

二　诸法意先导，意主意造作。若以清净意，或语或行业，是则乐随彼，如影不离形。

三　『彼骂我打我，败我劫夺我』，若人怀此念，怨恨不能息。

四　『彼骂我打我，败我劫夺我』，若人舍此念，怨恨自平息。

五　在于世界中，从非怨止怨，唯以忍止怨；此古(圣常)法。

六　彼人不了悟：『我等将毁灭』。若彼等如此，则诤论自息。 七　唯求住净乐，不摄护诸根，饮食不知量，懈惰不精进，彼实为魔服，如风吹弱树。 八　愿求非乐住，善摄护诸根，饮食知节量，具信又精进，魔不能胜彼，如风吹石山。 九　若人穿袈裟，不离诸垢秽，无诚实克己，不应着袈裟。 十　若人离诸垢，能善持戒律，克己与诚实，彼应着袈裟。 十一　非真思真实，真实见非真，邪思惟境界，彼不达真实。 十二　真实思真实，非真知非真，正思惟境界，彼能达真实。 十三　如盖屋不密，必为雨漏浸，如是不修心，贪欲必漏人。 十四 如善密盖屋，不为雨漏浸，如是善修心，贪欲不漏人。 十五　现世此处悲，死后他处悲，作诸恶业者，两处俱忧悲，见自恶业已，他悲他苦恼。 十六 现世此处乐，死后他处乐，作诸善业者，两处俱受乐，见自善业已，他乐他极乐。 十七　现世此处苦，死后他处苦，作诸恶业者，两处俱受苦，(现)悲『我作恶』，堕恶趣更苦。 十八　现世此处喜，死后他处喜，修诸福业者，两处俱欢喜，(现)喜『我修福』，生善趣更喜。 十九　虽多诵经集，放逸而不行，如牧数他牛，自无沙门分。二十　虽诵经典少，能依教实行，具足正知识，除灭贪瞋痴，善净解脱心，弃舍于世欲，此界或他界，彼得沙门分。
