Trecho (79-180) do Buddhavagga (Awakened), parte do venerado cânone budista intitulado Dharmapadda (ou “dhammapada”), o ensinamento do Buda, traduzido do Pali pelo monge de Budismo Theravada e grande especialista em Pali, Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
Whose conquest can’t be undone,
whose conquest no one in the world
can reach;
awakened, his pasture endless,
pathless:
by what path will you lead him astray?In whom there’s no craving
— the sticky ensnarer —
to lead him anywherever at all;
awakened, his pasture endless,
pathless:
by what path will you lead him astray?
