Verses and Stories of Dhammapada: Matthakundhali Vatthu

Manopubbangama dhamma
Manosettha manomaya
Manasa ce pasannena
Bhasati va karoti va
Tato nam sukhamanveti
Chaya va anupayini.

All mental states have mind as their forerunner,
mind is their chief, and they are minded-made.
If, with a pure mind, one speaks or acts,
then happiness follows him closely,
like his never-departing shadow.



Story
A young boy called Matthakundhali, a son of a millionaire, was gravely sick and was on the verge of death. His father was a sticky man and would not want to consult a physician for fear that his money should be spent. The Buddha, through His Divine Eye, saw the dying young man and appeared before him. He, seeing the Buddha, was very pleased and had a full faith in the Buddha. When he was dead he was born in a heaven.
