  • The Highest Protection

    Nour Meddeb

    “Not consorting with fools,

    consorting with the wise,

    paying homage to those worthy of homage:

    This is the highest protection.

    Living in a civilized land,

    having made merit in the past,

    directing oneself rightly:

    This is the highest protection.

    Broad knowledge, skill,

    well-mastered discipline,

    well-spoken words:

    This is the highest protection.

    Support for one’s mother & father,

    assistance to one’s wife and children,

    consistency in one’s work:

    This is the highest protection.

    Generosity, living in rectitude,

    assistance to one’s relatives,

    deeds that are blameless:

    This is the highest protection.

    Avoiding, abstaining from evil;

    refraining from intoxicants,

    being heedful of mental qualities:

    This is the highest protection.

    Respect, humility,

    contentment, gratitude,

    hearing the Dhamma on timely occasions:

    This is the highest protection.

    Patience, being easy to instruct,

    seeing contemplatives,

    discussing the Dhamma on timely occasions:

    This is the highest protection.

    Austerity, celibacy,

    seeing the noble truths,

    realizing unbinding:

    This is the highest protection.

    A mind that, when touched

    by the ways of the world,

    is unshaken, sorrowless, dustless, at rest:

    This is the highest protection.

    When acting in this way,

    everywhere undefeated,

    people go everywhere in well-being:

    This is their highest protection.”
