2. The Garden of Delight
Conscience
“Can a person constrained by conscience
be found in the world,
who is cognizant of blame,
like a fine horse of the whip?”
“Few are those constrained by conscience,
who live always mindful.
Having reached the end of suffering,
smoothly they walk in the rough.”
Pali

Hirīsutta
“Hirīnisedho puriso,
koci lokasmiṁ vijjati;
Yo nindaṁ apabodhati,
asso bhadro kasāmivā”ti.
“Hirīnisedhā tanuyā,
ye caranti sadā satā;
Antaṁ dukkhassa pappuyya,
caranti visame saman”ti.

2. Le jardin des délices
Conscience morale
« Peut-on trouver dans le monde
une personne retenue par sa conscience morale,
attentive au blâme,
comme un bon cheval au fouet ? »
« Rares sont ceux que retient leur conscience morale
et qui vivent toujours en pleine présence.
Parvenus au terme de la souffrance,
ils cheminent sans heurt sur un terrain accidenté. »
