Thanks you very much for answer Lal. :)
It is interesting that a chant is combined with both sutta and dhammapada sections :) I think it is very nice connection. If affects me deeply, feeling more “technical” sutta stuff combined with poetic Dhammapada atmoshpere. It shows that actually meditation technique and precise understanding of and following the teachings are what help us to get to the “most beautiful” – Nibbana. Very much in the Buddha way of things :)
I’m still curious about the actual correct translation, but please do it only if you find happiness in it, it is not that importaint to take your precious time :)
With metta,
