    Better than a poem of a thousand vain verses is one thoughtful line which beings peace to the mind.

    “Self”

    If you hold youself dear, guard yourself diligently.
    Keep vigil during one of the three watches of night.

    Learn what is right; then teach others, as
    the wise do. Before trying to guide others, be your
    own guide first. It is hard to learn to guide oneself.

    Your own self is your master; who else could be?
    With yourself well controlled, you gain a master very
    hard to find.

    The evil done by the selfish crushes them as a
    diamond breaks a hard gem. As a vine overpowers
    a tree, evil overpowers those who do evil, trapping
    them in a situation that only their enemies would
    wish them to be in. Evil deeds, which harm the
    doer,  are easy to do; good deeds are not so easy.

    Foolish people who scoff at the teachings of
    the wise, the noble, and the good, following false
    doctrines, bring their own downfall like that
    khattaka tree, which dies after bearing fruit.

    By oneself is evil done; by oneself one is
    injured. Do no do evil, and sufering will
    not come. Everyone has the choice to be pure
    or impure. No one can purify another.

    Don’t neglect your own duty for another,
    however great. Know your own duty and perform it. 

    The Dhammapada, 12: 157-166

    Don’t try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist;
    use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are.
