“Mendicants, I will teach you the near shore and the far shore.

Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak. …

And what, mendicants, is the near shore? What is the far shore?

Killing living creatures is the near shore, mendicants, and not killing living creatures is the far shore.

Stealing is the near shore, and not stealing is the far shore.

Sexual misconduct is the near shore, and avoiding sexual misconduct is the far shore.

Lying is the near shore, and not lying is the far shore.

Backbiting is the near shore, and avoiding backbiting is the far shore.

Harsh speech is the near shore, and avoiding harsh speech is the far shore.

Talking nonsense is the near shore, and avoiding talking nonsense is the far shore.

Covetousness is the near shore, and contentment is the far shore.

Ill will is the near shore, and good will is the far shore.

Wrong view is the near shore, and right view is the far shore.

This is the near shore, and this is the far shore.

Few are those among humans

who cross to the far shore.

The rest just run

around on the near shore.

When the teaching is well explained,

those who practice accordingly

are the ones who will cross over

Death’s dominion so hard to pass.

Rid of dark qualities,

an astute person should develop the bright.

Leaving home behind

for the seclusion so hard to enjoy,

try to find satisfaction there,

having left behind sensual pleasures.

Owning nothing, an astute person

should cleanse themselves of mental corruptions.

And those whose minds are rightly developed

in the awakening factors;

letting go of attachments,

they delight in not grasping.

With defilements ended, brilliant,

they are quenched in this world.”
