THE BHIKKHU WHO RADIATES LOVING-KINDNESS RADIATES PEACE

9. The bhikkhu who abides in loving-kindness, 6 who is pleased with the Buddha's Teaching, attains to that state of peace and happiness, 7 the stilling of conditioned things. 368.

GIVE UP LUST AND HATRED

10. Empty this boat, 8 O bhikkhu! Emptied by you it will move swiftly. Cutting off lust and hatred, to Nibbàna you will thereby go. 369.

FLOOD-CROSSER IS ONE WHO HAS GIVEN UP THE FETTERS

11. Five cut off, 9 five give up, 10 five further cultivate. 11 The bhikkhu who has gone beyond the five bonds 12 is called a "Flood-Crosser". 370.

MEDITATE EARNESTLY

12. Meditate, O bhikkhu! Be not heedless. Do not let your mind whirl on sensual pleasures. Do not be careless and swallow a ball of lead. As you burn cry not "This is sorrow". 371.

THERE IS NO WISDOM IN THOSE WHO DO NOT THINK

13. There is no concentration in one who lacks wisdom, nor is there wisdom in him who lacks concentration. In whom are both concentration and wisdom, he, indeed, is in the presence of Nibbàna. 372.

HE WHO IS CALM EXPERIENCES TRANSCENDENTAL JOY

14. The bhikkhu who has retired to a lonely abode, who has calmed his mind, who perceives the doctrine clearly, experiences a joy transcending that of men. 13 373.

HE IS HAPPY WHO REFLECTS ON RISE AND FALL

15. Whenever he reflects on the rise and fall of the Aggregates, he experiences joy and happiness. To "those who know" that (reflection 14) is Deathless. 374.

A WISE BHIKKHU MUST POSSESS HIS CARDINAL VIRTUES

16. And this becomes the beginning here for a wise bhikkhu: sense-control, contentment, restraint with regard to the Fundamental Code (Pàtimokkha 15), association with beneficent and energetic friends whose livelihood is pure. 375.

A BHIKKHU SHOULD BE CORDIAL IN ALL HIS WAYS

17. Let him be cordial in his ways and refined in conduct; filled thereby with joy, he will make an end of ill. 376.

Story

A monk, seated in a specially constructed pavilion was preaching the Dhamma one night to his mother and many others. Some robbers entered her house meanwhile. Their ring-leader shadowed the woman, intending to kill her if she should return home before they had done their fell work. Thrice a servant-maid came and informed her about the robbers, but she sent her away asking her not to disturb her while listening to the Dhamma. The ring-leader was impressed by her devotion. He went up to the robbers and ordered them to restore all the stolen property. Then they all came and asked forgiveness from the devout woman and all became monks. When they were engaged in meditation the Buddha projected an image of Himself before them and in admonition uttered these verses.
