"සිතන්නො දිනන්නොය"

We are what we think...
All that we are
arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts, we make the world.

Do not dwell in the past.
Do not dream of the future.
Concentrate the mind on the
present moment.

Even if everyone else
Is not doing good,
I alone will.

Even if everyone else
Is doing wrong,
I alone will not.


All that we are is the result of
what we have thought;
it is founded on our thoughts.

If a man speaks or acts
with pure thought,
joy will follow him,
like a shadow
that never leaves him.

In the light of his vision he has
found his freedom:

his thoughts are peace,
his words peace,
his work peace.

If a man's mind

become pure,

his surroundings will also
become pure.




Just as water cools both

good and bad
and washes away all
impurity and dust,

in the same way you should

develop thoughts of love for
friend and foe alike,
and having reached
perfection in love,
you will attain enlightenment.

Everything changes,
nothing remains
without change.

Rain falls,
Wind blows,
Plants bloom,
Leaves mature
and are blown away;
these phenomena are all
interrelated with
causes and conditions,
are brought by them,
and disappear as the
causes and conditions
change.
