Dhammapada 264, 265


Not by tonsure does an undisciplined man who speaks falsehood become a Samana; can a man be a Samana who is still held captive by desire and greediness? 

He who always quiets the evil, whether small or large, he is called a Samana, a quiet man, because he has quieted all evil.
