The Destruction of Taking Enjoyment in the External
Translated from the Pali
by
Michael M. Olds
Once upon a time, Lucky Man, Sāvatthi-town revisiting, Anāthapiṇḍika's Jeta grove.
There to the Beggars gathered round, he said:
"Bhikkhus!"
And upon the bhikkhus responding "Bhante!" Bhagava said:
"Whenever, beggars, a beggar sees visual objects
as unreliable,
he has achieved consummate view.
With seeing consummately comes satiation.
In the destruction of taking enjoyment,
the destruction of lust
in the destruction of lust,
the destruction of taking enjoyment.
With the destruction of taking enjoyment in lust,
the heart is called
'Well-freed'.

the destruction of taking enjoyment.

the heart is called
'Well-freed'.
