Dhp 43 Soreyyattheravatthu<br />

The Benefits <strong>of</strong> a Well-Directed Mind<br />

forgiveness and he changes back into a man!<br />

Sammāpaṇihitaṁ cittaṁ seyyaso naṁ tato kare.<br />

Mother, Father and other kin<br />

A wholesome, well-directed mind,<br />

Will do more than they are able.<br />
