sn17.38-43:1.1 At Sāvatthī.
BAGIAN 1
sn17.38-43:1.2 “Possessions, honor, and popularity are grim, bitter, and harsh. They’re an obstacle to reaching the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.
sn17.38-43:1.3 When I’ve comprehended the mind of a certain individual, I understand:
sn17.38-43:1.4 ‘This venerable would not tell a deliberate lie even for the sake of their father.’ …”
sn17.38-43:1.5 (Tell in full as in SN 17.37.)
sn17.38-43:1.6 “‘… brother.’ …”
sn17.38-43:1.7 “‘… sister.’ …”
sn17.38-43:1.8 “‘… son.’ …”
sn17.38-43:1.9 “‘… daughter.’ …”
sn17.38-43:1.10 “‘… wife.’
sn17.38-43:1.11 But some time later I see them tell a deliberate lie because their mind is overcome and overwhelmed by possessions, honor, and popularity.
sn17.38-43:1.12 So grim are possessions, honor, and popularity—bitter and harsh, an obstacle to reaching the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.
sn17.38-43:1.13 So you should train like this:
sn17.38-43:1.14 ‘We will give up arisen possessions, honor, and popularity, and we won’t let them occupy our minds.’
sn17.38-43:1.15 That’s how you should train.”
