Buddhist Wisdom

Hands restrained, feet restrained speech restrained, supremely restrained--delighting in what is inward, content, centered, alone: she's what they calla monk.

A monk restrained in his speaking, giving counsel unruffled, declaring the message and meaning: sweet is his speech.

-Dhammapada, 25, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
