Sweet is his speech

Hands restrained,

feet restrained,

speech restrained,

supremely restrained--

delighting in what is inward,

content, centered, alone:he's what they call

a monk.

A monk restrained in his speaking,

giving counsel unruffled,

declaring the message & meaning:

sweet is his speech.

-Dhammapada, 25, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

A Buddhist thought to convey a universal message. Restraint and sweetness of speech.

These will lead us to peace.
