mn67:17.1 And what, mendicants, is the danger of gharials?
BAGIAN 17
mn67:17.2 It’s when a gentleman has gone forth out of faith from the lay life to homelessness, thinking:
mn67:17.3 ‘I’m swamped by rebirth, old age, and death; by sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress. I’m swamped by suffering, mired in suffering.
mn67:17.4 Hopefully I can make an end to this entire mass of suffering.’
mn67:17.5 When they’ve gone forth, their spiritual companions advise and instruct them:
mn67:17.6 ‘You may eat, consume, taste, and drink these things, but not those. You may eat what’s allowable, but not what’s unallowable. You may eat at the right time, but not at the wrong time.’
mn67:17.7 They think: ‘Formerly, as laypeople, we used to eat, consume, taste, and drink what we wanted, not what we didn’t want.
mn67:17.8 We ate and drank both allowable and unallowable things, at the right time and the wrong time.
mn67:17.9 And these faithful householders give us delicious fresh and cooked foods at the wrong time of day. But these guys imagine they can gag our mouths!’
mn67:17.10 They resign the training and return to a lesser life.
mn67:17.11 This is called one who resigns the training and returns to a lesser life because they’re afraid of the danger of gharials.
mn67:17.12 ‘Danger of gharials’ is a term for gluttony.
