sn20.9:4.2 There they speak on the teachings,
sn20.9:4.3 and lay people demonstrate their confidence in them.
sn20.9:4.4 And when they get things, they use them untied, uninfatuated, unattached, seeing the drawbacks, and understanding the escape.

sn20.9:4.9 But when they get things, they use them tied, infatuated, attached, blind to the drawbacks, not understanding the escape.
sn20.9:4.10 That’s not good for their appearance and strength, and results in death or deadly pain.
sn20.9:4.11 So you should train like this:
