Rejoices here and afterwards

By Admin at 1:05 PM    
Idha nandati, pecca nandati, katapunno ubhayattha nandati.
"punnam me katan" ti nandati bhiyyo nandatisuggatim gato.

(One who has done good deeds rejoices here and rejoices afterwards too; he rejoices in both places. Thinking "I have done good deeds" he rejoices, he rejoices all the more having gone to a happy existence. Dhammapada, v. 18.)
