sn17.37:1.1 At Sāvatthī.
BAGIAN 1
sn17.37:1.2 “Possessions, honor, and popularity are grim, bitter, and harsh. They’re an obstacle to reaching the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.
sn17.37:1.3 When I’ve comprehended the mind of a certain individual, I understand:
sn17.37:1.4 ‘This venerable would not tell a deliberate lie even for the sake of their mother.’
sn17.37:1.5 But some time later I see them tell a deliberate lie because their mind is overcome and overwhelmed by possessions, honor, and popularity.
sn17.37:1.6 So grim are possessions, honor, and popularity—bitter and harsh, an obstacle to reaching the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.
sn17.37:1.7 So you should train like this:
sn17.37:1.8 ‘We will give up arisen possessions, honor, and popularity, and we won’t let them occupy our minds.’
sn17.37:1.10 That’s how you should train.”
