Verses of the Senior Monks 2.42
The Book of the Twos
Chapter Five
Dhammapāla
The young monk
who is devoted to the teaching of the Buddha,
wakeful while others sleep—
his life is not in vain.
So let the wise devote themselves
to faith, ethical behavior,
confidence, and insight into the teaching,
remembering the instructions of the Buddhas.
