The Carriage


The path is called "straight,"
"Without fear" is the destination;
the carriage is called "silent"
and its wheels are right effort.

Conscience is the rails and
mindfulness the upholstery,
Dharma is the driver and
right view runs ahead of it.

And whether it be a woman
or whether it be a man,
whoever travels by this carriage
shall draw closer to Nirvana.

---Samyutta Nikaya---
