Happiness Will Follow You As Your Own Shadow

All that we are is the result of our thoughts;
it is founded on our thoughts
and made up of our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
If you speak or act with a harmful thought,
trouble will follow you
as the wheel follows the ox
that draws the cart.

All that we are is the result of our thoughts;
it is founded on our thoughts
and made up of our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
If you speak or act with a harmonious thought,
happiness will follow you
as your own shadow,
never leaving you.
