The Chapter on Happiness

197.

Very happily indeed we live, free from enmity among the hostile;

Among hostile human beings, we dwell free from enmity.

198.

Very happily indeed we live, free from affliction among the afflicted;

Among afflicted human beings, we dwell free from affliction.

199.

Very happily indeed we live, without zeal among the zealous;

Among zealous human beings, we dwell without zeal.

200.

Very happily indeed we live, we who have nothing;

We shall be feeders on rapture, like the radiant gods.

201.

Winning, one begets enmity; the defeated one sleeps in suffering;

The peaceful one sleeps happily, having abandoned victory and defeat.

202.

There is no fire like lust, there is no misfortune like hate;

There is no suffering like the aggregates, there is no happiness beyond peace.

203.

Hunger is the supreme disease, activities are the supreme suffering;

Having known this as it really is, Nibbāna is the highest bliss.

204.

Health is the highest gain, contentment is the supreme wealth;

Trust is the highest relative, Nibbāna is the highest bliss.

205.

Having drunk the flavour of solitude, and the flavour of peace;

One becomes free from anguish, sinless, drinking the flavour of joy in the Teaching.

206.

Good is the seeing of the noble ones, association is always pleasant;

By not seeing the foolish, one would be ever happy.

207.

For one who associates with fools grieves for a long course;

Painful is communion with fools, as with an enemy always;

But the wise is pleasant to live with, like a meeting of relatives.

208.

Therefore -

The wise one, the one with wisdom, the very learned, one of burden-bearing nature, observant of religious duties, a noble one;

Such a good person, a wise one, one should associate with, as the moon with the path of the stars.

The Chapter on Happiness is concluded as fifteenth.
