If you are afraid of pain,
if you don’t like it,
do nothing evil,
either openly or in secret.
For if you do,
even if you get up and run away
you won’t escape its pain.
If you are afraid of pain,
if you don’t like it,
take refuge in the Buddha,
the Dharma and the Sangha.
Train in the precepts.
This is good.
-Theri Gatha
