Dhammapadaṃ, 1. Yamakavaggo (The Pairs), Verse 2
manopubbaṅgamā dhammā | manoseṭṭhā manomayā ||
manasā ce pasannena | bhāsati vā karoti vā ||
tato naṃ sukhamanveti | chāyāva anapāyinī || 2 ||
2. Mental phenomena are preceded by mind, have mind as their leader,
are made by mind.
If one acts or speaks with a pure mind,
from that happiness follows him, like a shadow not going away.
