mn29:6.2 ‘I’m swamped by rebirth, old age, and death; by sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress. I’m swamped by suffering, mired in suffering.
mn29:6.3 Hopefully I can make an end to this entire mass of suffering.’
mn29:6.4 When they’ve gone forth they generate possessions, honor, and popularity.
mn29:6.5 They’re not happy with that, and haven’t got all they wished for.

mn29:6.18 Suppose there was a person in need of heartwood. And while wandering in search of heartwood he’d come across a large tree standing with heartwood. He’d cut out just the heartwood and leave knowing it was heartwood.
mn29:6.19 If a person with clear eyes saw him they’d say,
mn29:6.20 ‘This gentleman knows what heartwood, softwood, bark, shoots, and branches and leaves are.
