[Verse 1]
One Dhamma, when cultivated deep,
One heart, when it learns to let things go,
Letting go of clinging, letting go of delusion,
Slowly releasing differences, slowly releasing the self.
Remembering the Buddha, let the heart be bright,
Remembering the Dhamma, let the heart endure,
Remembering the Sangha, walking on the path,
Leading the heart beyond the darkness,
Toward the peace that is cool and still.
[Pre-Chorus]
Know the breath, know the body, know the mind,
Know arising and passing, cling to nothing.
Make the heart upright, see the world with wisdom,
Right understanding leads the heart beyond suffering and fear.
[Chorus]
One Dhamma, one heart, one path,
Step by step, without losing the way.
From clinging toward letting go,
From darkness toward the light of wisdom.
One Dhamma, one heart, one life,
Learning the truth in every moment.
Disenchantment, release, cessation, peace within,
Walking toward Nibbāna through the light of wisdom.
[Verse 2]
Do not let the heart follow wrong views,
Do not let life be carried away by delusion.
Reflect wisely within the heart,
See cause and effect with an awakened mind.
Right View is the guiding light,
Teaching us to understand things through cause and effect.
When our view is right, our actions become right,
And life moves beyond confusion.
[Bridge]
Just one person may change the world,
With words, with Dhamma, with a heart of goodness.
If one life begins to create compassion,
The whole world can shine with the light of Dhamma.
[Chorus]
One Dhamma, one heart, one path,
Step by step, without losing the way.
From clinging toward letting go,
From darkness toward the light of wisdom.
One Dhamma, one heart, one life,
Learning the truth in every moment.
Disenchantment, release, cessation, peace within,
Walking toward Nibbāna through the light of wisdom.
[Musical Bridge]
Listen to the Dhamma, remember the Dhamma,
Understand the Dhamma, then walk the Dhamma’s path.
It is not enough simply to know,
Let the Dhamma transform the heart each day.
Mindful in the body, wisdom in the heart,
Let the breath lead us back to ourselves.
When the heart becomes peaceful, truth reveals itself,
And liberation begins within the heart.
[Final Chorus]
One Dhamma, one heart, one path,
One goodness can make the world more beautiful.
If one life chooses to live by the Dhamma,
It becomes a beautiful light for the world to see.
One Dhamma, one heart, one life,
Let go of the attachments that once bound us.
From this day onward, I will walk the path of Dhamma,
With mindfulness, wisdom, and peacefulness.
[Outro]
One Dhamma... leads the heart,
One heart... leads the way,
One path... leads to freedom,
One life... leads to Nibbāna.
Buddhist Teaching Highlights “One Dhamma” as a Path to Inner Peace, Wisdom and Liberation
BANGKOK — A significant teaching found in Volume 20 of the Sutta Piṭaka, Volume 12 of the Aṅguttara Nikāya, under “Ekadhammādipāli — another presentation,” emphasizes the transformative power of cultivating a single wholesome principle. When properly developed and repeatedly practiced, such a principle can lead to disenchantment, fading of attachment, cessation, tranquility, higher knowledge, awakening and ultimately Nibbāna.
The first section presents a range of contemplative recollections, beginning with recollection of the Buddha and extending to recollection of the Dhamma, the Saṅgha, morality, generosity, the deities, mindfulness of breathing, mindfulness of death, mindfulness directed to the body, and recollection of peace. These practices share a common purpose: training the mind toward wholesome attention, clarity and freedom from attachment.
The second section focuses on the crucial distinction between wrong view and right view. The commentarial tradition explains that careless or unskillful attention can cause wrong view to arise and become stronger, whereas wise and skillful attention supports the arising and development of right view.
This teaching suggests that our worldview is not merely an intellectual matter. The way a person understands reality influences how that person thinks, speaks and acts. A wholesome understanding can therefore become the foundation for wholesome conduct, while distorted understanding can lead toward harmful actions.
The third section emphasizes the influence of an individual person. A single person can contribute either to the welfare or decline of the world. The teaching therefore highlights the importance of personal responsibility: social transformation can begin with the transformation of one person's mind and conduct.
The fourth section turns attention toward the rarity of favorable conditions for encountering and practicing the Dhamma. It describes those who hear the Buddha's teaching, remember it, investigate its meaning, understand both its meaning and principles, and practice accordingly. Such practice can lead toward concentration and liberation.
The same volume also contains the Pāsādakara-dhammādipāli, which discusses qualities associated with gain and respect, including forest dwelling, alms-round practice, wearing rag robes, learning the Buddha's teachings extensively, steadfastness and other wholesome qualities. The text further connects meditative development, including jhāna and mindfulness directed to the body, with faithfully following the Buddha's teaching.
Mindfulness directed to the body is particularly praised. When cultivated and developed, wholesome qualities connected with liberating knowledge are said to enter deeply into the practitioner, using the image of small rivers flowing into the great ocean.
Taken together, these teachings offer a powerful message for the modern world:
Transformation begins with the mind.
Transformation of the mind begins with wise attention.
Wise attention develops right understanding.
Right understanding guides right action.
And right practice leads toward peace and liberation.
The teaching of “one Dhamma” therefore remains relevant beyond the ancient context. In an age filled with competing information, beliefs and opinions, mindfulness, wise reflection and right view can provide a foundation for individuals who seek inner peace while contributing positively to society.
