[ Version Two ] Sabba-pāpa꜕ss꜕a a꜕ka꜕ra꜓ṇaṃ Not do꜕in꜕g a꜕ny꜕ evil; Kusalassūpasa꜓mpa꜕dā To be committed to꜕ th꜕e good; Sa꜕citta-pa꜕riyoda꜓pa꜕naṃ To pu꜕rify꜕ on꜕e’s mind: Etaṃ buddhāna sā꜓sa꜕naṃ
These are th꜓e teachings o꜕f all Bu꜕ddhas. Kha꜓ntī pa꜕ramaṃ ta꜕po tītikkhā Patient endurance is the highest pra꜕ctice, bu꜕rning ou꜕t defi꜕lements; Nibbānaṃ pa꜕ramaṃ vadanti buddhā The Buddha꜓s say Nibbā꜕na꜕ is su꜕preme. Na h꜕i pa꜕bbajito pa꜕rūpaghātī Not a renu꜕nciant is꜕ on꜕e wh꜕o in꜕ju꜕res o꜕thers; Sa꜕maṇo ho꜓ti pa꜕raṃ viheṭha꜕yanto Whoever troubles others ca꜕n’t b꜕e ca꜓lled a꜕ monk.
