The Chapter on Happiness
Among hostile human beings, we dwell free from enmity.
Among afflicted human beings, we dwell free from affliction.
Among zealous human beings, we dwell without zeal.
We shall be feeders on rapture, like the radiant gods.
The peaceful one sleeps happily, having abandoned victory and defeat.
There is no suffering like the aggregates, there is no happiness beyond peace.
Having known this as it really is, Nibbāna is the highest bliss.
Trust is the highest relative, Nibbāna is the highest bliss.
One becomes free from anguish, sinless, drinking the flavour of joy in the Dhamma.
By not seeing the foolish, one would be ever happy.
Painful is communion with fools, as with an enemy always;
But the wise is pleasant to live with, like a meeting of relatives.
The wise one, the one with wisdom, the very learned, one of burden-bearing nature, observant of religious duties, a noble one;
Such a good person, a wise one, one should associate with, as the moon with the path of the stars.
The Chapter on Happiness is concluded as fifteenth.
