sn35.244:3.1 And how has a mendicant seen sensual pleasures in such a way that they have no underlying tendency for desire, affection, infatuation, and passion for sensual pleasures?
BAGIAN 3
sn35.244:3.2 Suppose there was a pit of glowing coals deeper than a man’s height, filled with glowing coals that neither flamed nor smoked. Then a person would come along who wants to live and doesn’t want to die, who wants to be happy and recoils from pain. Two strong men would grab each arm and drag them toward the pit of glowing coals. They’d writhe and struggle to and fro.
sn35.244:3.3 Why is that?
sn35.244:3.4 For that person knows, ‘If I fall in that pit of glowing coals, that will result in my death or deadly pain.’
sn35.244:3.5 In the same way, when a mendicant has seen sensual pleasures as like a pit of glowing coals, they have no underlying tendency for desire, affection, infatuation, and passion for sensual pleasures.
