an10.55:7.1 And how is a mendicant skilled in encompassing their own mind?
BAGIAN 7
an10.55:7.2 Suppose there was a woman or man who was young, youthful, and fond of adornments, and they check their own reflection in a clean bright mirror or a clear bowl of water. If they see any dirt or blemish there, they’d try to remove it.
an10.55:7.3 But if they don’t see any dirt or blemish there, they’re happy with that, as they’ve got all they wished for:
an10.55:7.4 ‘How fortunate that I’m clean!’
an10.55:7.5 In the same way, checking is very helpful for a mendicant’s skillful qualities.
an10.55:7.6 ‘Is contentment often found in me or not? Is good will often found in me or not? Is freedom from dullness and drowsiness often found in me or not? Is calm often found in me or not? Is confidence often found in me or not? Is love often found in me or not? Is purity of mind often found in me or not? Is internal joy with the teaching found in me or not? Is internal serenity of heart found in me or not? Is the higher wisdom of discernment of principles found in me or not?’
