Friends:
The Action of Kamma and it's Fruit: Cause & Effect!
Helping others, one thereby helps oneself!
Harming others, one also harms oneself!
Supporting others, one supports oneself!
Cheating others, one also cheats oneself!
Giving to others, one also gives to oneself!
Stealing from others, one steals from oneself!
Guarding oneself, one thus protects others...
Protecting others, one thus guards oneself...
To avoid all Killing.
To avoid all Stealing.
To avoid all Abuse.
To avoid all Lying.
To avoid all Alcohol.
Is thus to this world
the Highest Offer!
Avoiding all Evil
Doing only Good
Purifying the Mind
That all Buddhas Teach!
