Get the Good Momentum

It is easy for the good person to do good deeds,
but for the evil one it is difficult to do good deeds.
It is easy for the evil person to do bad deeds,
but it is difficult for the good one to do bad deeds.

– Udana (The Buddha)

Make it easier to do good by more swiftly doing good now,
before it becomes ‘too’ hard.
Cultivate bits of generosity, loving-kindness and wisdom,
and let them grow,
before it becomes ‘too’ hard.

Make it harder to do evil by more swiftly doing good now,
before it becomes ‘too’ hard.
Eradicate bits of attachment, aversion and delusion,
before they grow,
before it becomes ‘too’ hard.
