Thag 4.10 PTS: Thag 303-306- Dhammika
The Dhamma protects those who live by the Dhamma. The Dhamma well-practiced brings bliss. This — the reward when the Dhamma's well-practiced: one who lives by the Dhamma doesn't go to a bad destination.

For Dhamma and non- don't bear equal results. Non-Dhamma leads you to hell; Dhamma, to a good destination.

So you should engender desire for acts of Dhamma, rejoicing in the One Well-gone, <p style="text-align:center;">the one who is Such. <p style="text-align:center;">Standing firm in the Dhamma, <p style="text-align:center;">of the foremost <p style="text-align:center;">One Well-gone, <p style="text-align:center;">his disciples are guided <p style="text-align:center;">— enlightened — <p style="text-align:center;">to the foremost <p style="text-align:center;">refuge supreme.

<p style="text-align:center;">Burst is the root of the boil; <p style="text-align:center;">the net of craving uprooted. <p style="text-align:center;">He, having ended his wandering-on, <p style="text-align:center;">has no stain — <p style="text-align:center;">like the moon <p style="text-align:center;">on a clear full-moon night.
