Dhammapada 76 [Khuddaka Nikaya]


6- Panditavagga, The Wise
1- Radhatthera Vatthu

Nidhinamva pavattaram, yam passe vajjadassinam;
niggayhavadim medhavim,tadisam panditam bhaje;
tadisam bhajamanassa, seyyo hoti na papiyo.
76: One should follow a man of wisdom who rebukes one for one's faults, as one would follow a guide to some buried treasure. To one who follows such a wise man, it will be an advantage and not a disadvantage.
