SC 360Restraint of the eye is good.
Good is restraint of the ear.
Restraint of the nose is good.
Good is restraint of the tongue.

SC 361Restraint of the body is good.
Good is restraint of speech.
Restraint of the mind is good.
Good is restraint everywhere.
The monk, restrained in every way,
Is released from all suffering.

SC 362The one restrained in hand, foot, and speech
the fully restrained—
Who is composed, solitary, and contented,
Who delights within:
This one is truly proclaimed a monk

SC 363Sweet is the speech of the humble monk,
Who restrains his mouth, recites the sacred texts,
And illuminates the Dhamma and its meaning.

SC 364The monk, delighting in the Dhamma,
Devoted to the Dhamma,
Pondering the Dhamma, and
Remembering the Dhamma,
Does not fall from the true Dhamma.

SC 365Scorn not what you have obtained,
Nor be envious of others.
The jealous monk does not attain samādhi.

SC 366The monk who never scorns what he has obtained,
Even if little,
Who is unwearied and lives the pure life,
Is praised, even by the gods.

SC 367The one who is not fond of mine,
Of anything of name-and-form;
Who does not grieve for what is not:
Truly, he is called monk.

SC 368The monk abiding in loving-kindness and
Pleased in the Buddha’s teaching,
Acquires the peaceful state,
The quieting of all conditioned things:
Happiness.

SC 369O monk, bail out this boat!
Emptied, it will go quickly for you.
Having destroyed passion and ill will,
You will go to Nibbāna.

SC 370Five (gross fetters) one should cut off.
Five (subtle fetters) one should abandon.
And further five (faculties) one should develop.
The monk who has overcome the five attachments
Is called one who has crossed over the torrent.

SC 371Meditate O monk! Do not be negligent!
Do not let your mind whirl in sensual pleasure;
Do not, being negligent, swallow the molten ball;

SC 372There is no meditative depth for the one without
discernment,
And no discernment for the one who does not
practice meditation.
But one with both wisdom and concentration
Is indeed close to Nibbāna.

SC 373For the monk who enters solitude,
With mind at peace,
Penetrating the Dhamma thoroughly,
There is heavenly delight.

SC 374When one penetrates the arising and dissipation of
the aggregates,
One obtains joy and delight.
For those who know,
This is the Deathless.

SC 375For the wise monk, here is the beginning:
Guarding one’s senses, contentment,
Restraint by the monastic precepts,
Association with virtuous friends
Whose way of life is pure and unwearied.

SC 376Be friendly and of good will;
Be skillful in conduct.
Thus would you end suffering
And be filled with joy.

SC 377Just as the jasmine sheds its withered flowers,
So, O monks, you should shed passion and ill will.

SC 378The monk who is calm in body and speech,
Tranquil and centered,
Caring not for worldly gain:
He is called at peace.

SC 379You yourself ought to exhort yourself.
You yourself ought to scrutinize yourself.
The monk who is self-guarded and mindful
Will dwell happily.

SC 380You are your own protector;
You are your own guide.
Therefore, restrain yourself,
Like a merchant a fine horse.

SC 381The monk, full of joy, pleased in the Buddha’s
teaching,
Acquires the peaceful state,
The quieting of all conditioned things:
Happiness.

SC 382Engaged in the Buddha’s teaching,
Even a novice monk illumines this world,
Like the moon released from a cloud.
