Dhammapada Verse 227 - 230: Blamed
Verse 227 O Atula! Indeed, this is an ancient practice, not one only of today: they blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is not blamed.Verse 228 There never was, there never will be, nor is there now, a person who is wholly blamed or wholly praised.Verse 229 But the man whom the wise praise, after observing him day after day, is one of flawless character, wise, and endowed with knowledge and virtue.Verse 230 Who can blame such a one, as worthy as a coin of refined gold? Even the gods praise him; by Brahma, too, is he praised. (Translated by Acharya Buddharakkhita)Our podcasts: https://podcast.sirimangalo.org/
