Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

3: The Chapter about the Mind – 51
Reflection must be directed to what is important
Five hundred monks went on walkabout, and when they
returned talked about the various kinds of earth they saw; the
Buddha told them to reflect on the earthiness in their own
hearts, and spoke the following verses.
44. Kŏ imaṁ paṭhaviṁ vicessati
yamalokañ-ca imaṁ sadevakaṁ?
Ko dhammapadaṁ sudesitaṁ
kusalo puppham-ivappacessati?
Who will know this earth and the lower realm,
together with the gods? Who will try to
reflect on the well-taught verse of Dhamma
as a good man reflects on a flower?
45. Sekho paṭhaviṁ vicessati
yamalokañ-ca imaṁ sadevakaṁ.
Sekho dhammapadaṁ sudesitaṁ
kusalo puppham-ivappacessati.
The trainee knows this earth and the lower realm,
together with the gods. The trainee will
reflect on the well-taught verse of Dhamma
as a good man reflects on a flower.
