Manibhadda Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna

1. At one time the Blessed One was living in Magàdha, in the gem pinnacled monument, the home of the non-human Manibhadda.

2. Then the non-human Manibhadda approached the Blessed One and said this stanza in the presence of the Blessed One:


 * "The mindful are always lucky, mindfulness increases pleasantness,
 * Indeed the mindful one is noble. He is released from anger too."

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna (The Blessed One:)


 * "The mindful are always lucky, mindfulness increases pleasantness,
 * Indeed the mindful one is noble. He is not released from anger.
 * If someone's mind is attached to non-hurting all day and night
 * He has loving kindness to all beings, he is not angry on account of anything."
