Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

25: The Chapter about Monastics – 308
Making an end of suffering
After Soṇa Kūṭikaṇṇa received ordination he recited Dhamma
to the Buddha who praised him for it, which also caused the
gods to rejoice; on hearing about it, Soṇa’s mother invited her
son to teach her Dhamma also, and wouldn’t leave the
teaching even when she heard nine hundred thieves had
broken into her house; seeing her piety the thieves converted
and were admitted to the Saṅgha; this is the teaching the
Buddha gave at that time.
368. Mettāvihārī yo bhikkhu, pasanno Buddhasāsane,
adhigacche padaṁ santaṁ, saṅkhārūpasamaṁ sukhaṁ.
That monastic who has loving-kindness,
with faith in the Buddha’s dispensation,
should surely attain to the state of peace,
the joy in the stilling of conditions.
369. Siñca bhikkhu imaṁ nāvaṁ, sittā te lahum-essati,
chetvā rāgañ-ca dosañ-ca, tato Nibbānam-ehisi.
Please bail out this boat, monastic,
when bailed out it will go lightly,
cutting off passion and hatred,
from here one goes to Nibbāna.
