2.58

「非空非海中,非隱山石間,
莫能於此處,避免宿惡殃。
眾生有苦惱,不得免老死,
唯有仁智者,不念人非惡。」

“Not in the void of heaven, not in the depths of the sea, not by entering the rocky clefts of the mountains, in none of these places can a man by any means escape his destiny, the consequence of the evil he has done. All men are liable to sorrow and pain; none can escape old age and death. The virtuous man alone possessed of wisdom; the man who gives not way to busy thoughts (about life), for him alone there is no evil.”

Samuel Beal, Texts from the Buddhist Canon commonly known as Dhammapada, with accompanying narratives
