A Collection of Buddhist Wisdom Verses - Ancient Buddhist Texts

12: Trust
Jā 68 Sāketajātakaṁ
Faith at First Sight
A couple who were the Bodhisatta's parents in
many previous lives greet him as a son in this
life, to the confusion of the monks. The Buddha
explains their past relationship.
219. Yasmiṁ mano nivisati, cittaṁ cāpi pasīdati,
Adiṭṭhapubbake pose, kāmaṁ tasmim-pi vissase.
In that one in whom he has trust,
In whom his heart has devotion,
Although he is unknown before,
He should willingly place his trust.
