Via Buddhism on Beliefnet:
Daily Buddhist Wisdom
Hands restrained,
feet restrained
speech restrained,
supremely restrained--
delighting in what is inward,
content, centered, alone:
he's what they call
a monk.
A monk restrained in his speaking,
giving counsel unruffled,
declaring the message & meaning:
sweet is his speech.
- Dhammapada, 25, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
