1.466

“Dwelling long in seclusion
And contemplating the Way—how joyful is its blessing!
What was formerly wished to be heard
Is now fully understood—how joyful!
Not being troubled by others
And able to bring peace to sentient beings—how joyful!
Crossing beyond the world, the three poisons extinguished,
Attaining the Buddha's nirvāṇa—how joyful!
To be born in a world and see a Buddha,
To hear and receive the sūtras and Dharma—how joyful!
To meet with pratyekabuddhas
And arhats—how joyful too!
Not keeping company with the foolish,
Being parted from evil people—how joyful!
Having wisdom to discern the true from the false,
Knowing and believing in the right path—how joyful!”
