*Flowers*	Phaåm Hoa
44. Who will comprehend this earth, the world of Yama, and the gods? Who will discern the well-taught Dhamma as one who's skilled selects a flower?	44. Ai chinh phuïc ñaát naøy Daï ma, Thieân giôùi naøy? Ai kheùo giaûng Phaùp cuù, Nhö ngöôøi [1] kheùo haùi hoa?
45. One Trained will comprehend this earth, the world of Yama, and the gods, One Trained discerns the well-taught Dhamma as one who's skilled selects a flower.	45. Höõu hoïc chinh phuïc ñaát, Daï ma, Thieân giôùi naøy. Höõu hoïc giaûng Phaùp cuù, Nhö ngöôøi kheùo haùi hoa.
46. Having known this froth-like body and awakening to its mirage nature, smashing Mara's flowered shafts unseen beyond the Death-king go.	46. Bieát thaân nhö boït nöôùc, Ngoä thaân laø nhö huyeãn, Beû teân hoa cuûa Ma, Vöôït taàm maét Thaàn cheát
47. For one who has a clinging mind and gathers only pleasure-flowers, Death does seize and carry away as great flood a sleeping village.	47. Ngöôøi nhaët caùc loaïi hoa, Y Ù ñaém say, tham nhieãm, Bò Thaàn cheát mang ñi, Nhö luït troâi laøng nguû.
48. For one of desires insatiate who gathers only pleasure-flowers, for one who has a clinging mind Death the sovereign overpowers.	48. Ngöôøi nhaët caùc loaïi hoa, Y Ù ñaém say, tham nhieãm, Caùc duïc chöa thoûa maõn, Ñaõ bò cheát chinh phuïc.
49. Just as a bee in a flower harming neither hue nor scent gathers nectar, flies away, so in towns a Wise One fares.	49. Nhö ong ñeán vôùi hoa, Khoâng haïi saéc vaø höông, Che chôû hoa, laáy nhuïy. Baäc Thaùnh ñi vaøo laøng.
50. Not others' opposition nor what they did or failed to do, but in oneself should be sought things done, things left undone.	50. Khoâng neân nhìn loãi ngöôøi, Ngöôøi laøm hay khoâng laøm. Neân nhìn töï chính mình, Coù laøm hay khoâng laøm.
51. Just as a gorgeous blossom brilliant but unscented, so fruitless the well-spoken words of one who does not act.	51. Nhö boâng hoa töôi ñeïp, Coù saéc nhöng khoâng höông. Cuõng vaäy, lôøi kheùo noùi, Khoâng laøm, khoâng keát quaû.
52. Just as a gorgeous blossom, brilliant and sweet-scented, so fruitful the well-spoken words of one who acts as well.	52. Nhö boâng hoa töôi ñeïp, Coù saéc laïi theâm höông ; Cuõng vaäy, lôøi kheùo noùi, Coù laøm, coù keát quaû.
53. As from a mass of flowers many a garland may be made, so by one born mortal should many good deeds be done.	53. Nhö töø moät ñoáng hoa, Nhieàu traøng hoa ñöôïc keát. Cuõng vaäy, thaân sanh töû, Laøm ñöôïc nhieàu thieän söï.
54. The fragrance of flowers drifts with the wind as sandalwood, jasmine of lavender. The fragrance of the virtuous sweeps the wind, all pervasive is virtue of the good.	54. Höông caùc loaïi hoa thôm [2] Khoâng ngöôïc bay chieàu gioù Nhöng höông ngöôøi ñöùc haïnh Ngöôïc gioù khaép tung bay Chæ coù baäc chaân nhaân Toõa khaép moïi phöông trôøi.
55. Sandalwood or lavender, lotus or the jasmine great, of these many fragrances virtue's fragrance is supreme.	55. Hoa chieân ñaøn, giaø la, Hoa sen, hoa vuõ quyù. Giöõa nhöõng höông hoa aáy, Giôùi höông laø voâ thöôïng.
56. Faint is this fragrance of lavender and sandalwood, but fragrance of the virtuous soars sublime amongst the gods.	56. Ít giaù trò höông naøy, Höông giaø la, chieân ñaøn ; Chæ höông ngöôøi ñöùc haïnh, Toái thöôïng toûa Thieân giôùi.
57. Of those with perfect virtue who dwell in heedfulness, freed by Final Knowledge: Mara cannot know their path.	57. Giöõa ai coù giôùi haïnh, An truù khoâng phoùng daät. Chaùnh trí, chôn giaûi thoaùt, AÙc ma khoâng thaáy ñöôøng.
58. As beside the highroad where rubbish in a pit is flung there flourishes the lotus bloom fragrant and the mind's delight.	58. Nhö giöõa ñoáng raùc nhôùp, Quaêng boû treân ñöôøng lôùn, Choã aáy hoa sen nôû, Thôm saïch, ñeïp yù ngöôøi.
59. So among rubbish-beings, common humans blind-become, the Perfect Buddha's pupil outshines with wisdom bright.	59. Cuõng vaäy giöõa quaàn sanh, Ueá nhieãm, muø, phaøm tuïc, Ñeä töû baäc Chaùnh Giaùc, Saùng ngôøi vôùi Tueä Tri.
