War Zone: January 2010

All tremble at violence;
all fear death.
Putting oneself in the place of another,
one should not kill,
nor cause another to kill.

All tremble at violence;
life is dear to all.
Putting oneself in the place of another,
one should not kill,
nor cause another to kill.

One who,
while himself seeking happiness,
oppresses with violence
other beings who also desire happiness,
will not attain happiness hereafter.

One who,
while himself seeking happiness,
does not oppress with violence
other beings who also desire happiness,
will find happiness hereafter.
