Pali - Every few days - [B054]
Gair/Karunatillake - Chapter 4 � Readings
Ex. 3. (Part 3 of 5)

Bahu.m pi ce sahita.m bhaasamaano - na takkaro hoti
naro pamatto
gopo�va gaavo ga.naya.m paresa.m - na bhaagavaa
saama~n~nassa hoti.
Even if he recites much the scriptures, but does not
practice them, a lazy man
Is like a cowherd counting the cattle of others, and
is not a participant in the holy life.

Appa.m pi ce sahita.m bhaasamaano - dhammassa hoti
anudhammacaarii
raaga~n ca dosa~n ca pahaaya moha.m - sammappajaano
suvimuttacitto
anupaadiyaano idha vaa hura.m vaa - sa bhaagavaa
saama~n~nassa hoti.
Even if he recites little the scriptures, the one who
acts in accordance with the Dhamma,
Having renounced greed, anger, and delusion, he is a
fully comprehending one with a well-freed mind; he is
freed from clinging in this world and the next; and he
is a participant in the holy life.

(Dhp. 1:19-20)

Metta,
John
