sn35.247:5.1 Suppose a person was to catch six animals, with diverse territories and feeding grounds, and tie them up with a strong rope.
BAGIAN 5
sn35.247:5.2 They’d catch a snake,
sn35.247:5.3 a dolphin,
sn35.247:5.4 a bird,
sn35.247:5.5 a dog,
sn35.247:5.6 a jackal,
sn35.247:5.7 and a monkey,
sn35.247:5.8 tie each up with a strong rope, then tether them to a strong post or pillar.
sn35.247:5.9 Then those six animals with different domains and ranges would each pull toward their own domain and range.
sn35.247:5.10 The snake would pull one way, thinking ‘I’m going into a termite mound!’ The dolphin would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the water!’ The bird would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m flying into the atmosphere!’ The dog would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the village!’ The jackal would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the charnel ground!’ The monkey would pull another way, thinking ‘I’m going into the jungle!’
sn35.247:5.11 When those six animals became exhausted and worn out, they’d stand or sit or lie down right by that post or pillar.
sn35.247:5.12 In the same way, when a mendicant has developed and cultivated mindfulness of the body, their eye doesn’t pull toward pleasant sights, and isn’t put off by unpleasant sights. Their ear … nose … tongue … body …
sn35.247:5.13 mind doesn’t pull toward pleasant ideas, and isn’t put off by unpleasant ideas.
sn35.247:5.14 This is how someone is restrained.
