Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

18: The Chapter about Stains – 223
Life is hard when seeking purity
Ven. Culla Sāri gave medical treatment to others in exchange
for a portion of food, which is against the right ways of
earning his livelihood as laid down by the Buddha; when the
Buddha heard of his behaviour he gave the teaching in these
verses.
244. Sujīvaṁ ahirikena, kākasūrena dhaṁsinā,
pakkhandinā pagabbhena, saṅkiliṭṭhena jīvitaṁ.
Life is light for one without shame,
with the bold courage of a crow,
living a life with backbiting,
recklessness, and with defilements.
245. Hirīmatā ca dujjīvaṁ, niccaṁ sucigavesinā,
alīnenāpagabbhena, suddhājīvena passatā.
Life is hard when endowed with shame,
for the one seeking purity,
for one sincere, and not reckless,
looking for purity of life.
