  2. Violence

    All fear death.
    All love life.

    See yourself in others.
    Then whom can you hurt?
    What harm can you do?

    He who seeks happiness
    By hurting those who seek happiness
    Will never find happiness.

    For your brother is like you.
    He wants to be happy.
    Never harm him
    And when you leave this life
    You too will find happiness.

    Never speak harsh words
    For they will rebound upon you.

    Angry words hurt
    And the hurt rebounds.

    Like a broken gong
    Be still, be silent.
    Know the stillness of freedom
    Where there is no more striving. Continue reading

Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
