  Smart In Applying Dhamma  

When fighting enemies do so with Dhamma,
wrestling however much, no real harm is done. 
Contending this way nobody dies and in the end
everyone is reconciled in peaceful harmony.

When warding off enemies know how to use Dhamma,
the most perfect adamantine wall of priceless excellence
that marvelously protects from all possible threats,
the most secure fortress within the world of people.

When evading enemies dwell within Dhamma,
not sore or suffering even the least hair's breadth. 
Dhamma soothes, moistens, and reconciles the heart;
may Dhamma be everyone's personal treasure.
