Verses of the Senior Monks 2.12

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Two

Jotidāsa

People who act harshly—

attacking people,

binding them with rope,

hurting them in all kinds of ways—

they’re treated in the same way;

their deeds don’t vanish.

Whatever deeds a person does,

whether good or bad,

they are the heir to each

and every deed they do.
