joy

	joy

1. Indulge not in heedlessness, have no intimacy with sensuous delights; for the earnest, meditative person obtains abundant bliss.

2. Happy indeed we live without hate among the hateful.

3. There are two extremes, which ought not to be cultivated by the recluse. What two? Sensual desire which is low, vulgar, worldly, ignoble, and conductive to harm; and self torment, which is painful, ignoble, and conductive to harm. The Middle Path, discovered by the Perfect One, avoids these extremes and gives vision, gives knowledge, and leads to peace, to insight, to enlightment and nirvana (liberation).

4. Happy is virture till old age; happy is steadfast confidence; happy is the attainment of wisdom; happy is it to do no evil.
