DHAMMAPADA XIX, 4

Syair 259

Seseorang yang hanya semata-mata banyak bicara bukan pendukung Dhamma. Orang yang meskipun belajar sedikit, namun batinnya melihat Dhamma dan melaksanakannya, sesungguhnya ia merupakan seorang pendukung Dhamma.

Sawijining wong kang mung pinter omong iku ndulu "panjurung Dhamma". Sanajan wong iku mung kadhang-kala wae sinau, ananging batine weruh Dhamma sarta ora tau lirwa anggone nindakake; ya mangkono iku wong kang pantes sinebut "Panjurung Dhamma" kang sejati.

A man is not a supporter of the Dharma because he talks much; even if a man has learnt little, but sees the Dharma bodily, he is a supporter of the Dharma, a man who never neglects the Dharma.
