Ch. XXIV: Thirst (Taṇhā-vaggo) |
|||
| 343. | Men, driven on by thirst, run about like a snared hare; let therefore the mendicant drive out thirst, by striving after passionlessness for himself. | Tasiṇāya purakkhatā pajā parisappanti saso'va bādhito Tasmā tasiṇaṃ vinodaye bhikkhu ākaṅkhī virāgamattano. |
|
| 350. | If a man delights in quieting doubts, and, always reflecting, dwells on what is not delightful (the impurity of the body, &c.), he certainly will remove, nay, he will cut the fetter of Mara. | Vitakkupasame ca yo rato asubhaṃ bhāvayati sadā sato Esa kho vyantikāhiti esa checchati mārabandhanaṃ. |
