Dhammapada · 17.5

Ahiṃsakā ye munayo, niccaṃ kāyena saṃvutā;Te yanti accutaṃ ṭhānaṃ, yattha gantvā na socare.

Ahimsaka ye munayo, niccam kayena samvuta; Te yanti accutam thanam, yattha gantva na socare.

The non-harming sages, ever restrained in body — they reach the Unmoving state, where having gone, they grieve no more.

— Dhammapada 17.5
