Sutta 104
Atitti Suttaṃ
No Satisfaction
Translated from the Pāḷi
by
Michael M. Olds
Once upon a time The Lucky Man, Sāvatthi-town residing.
There then, The Lucky Man addressed the bhikkhus:
"Bhikkhus!"
And the bhikkhus responding:
"Bhadante!"
the Lucky Man said this:
From indulging in three, beggars, there is no satisfaction.
What three?
From indulging in sleep, beggars, there is no satisfaction.
From indulging in alcoholic drinks, beggars, there is no satisfaction.
From indulging in things sexual, beggars, there is no satisfaction.
These then, beggars are the three things indulging in which there is no satisfaction.
