Manibhadda

1. At one time the Blessed One was living in Magàdha, in the gem pinnacled monument, the home of the non-human Manibhadda.

2. Then the non-human Manibhadda approached the Blessed One and said this stanza in the presence of the Blessed One:

"The mindful are always lucky, mindfulness increases pleasantness,
Indeed the mindful one is noble. He is released from anger too."

(The Blessed One:)

"The mindful are always lucky, mindfulness increases pleasantness,
Indeed the mindful one is noble. He is not released from anger.
If someone's mind is attached to non-hurting all day and night
He has loving kindness to all beings, he is not angry on account of anything."
