In whom thereâs no craving –the sticky ensnarer– to lead him anywherever at all; awakened, his pasture endless, pathless: by what path will you lead him astray? 179-180 They, the enlightened, intent on jhana, delighting in stilling & renunciation, self-awakened & mindful: even the devas view them with envy. 181 Hard   the winning of a human birth. Hard   the life of mortals. Hard   the chance to hear the true Dhamma. Hard   the arising of Awakened Ones. 182 The non-doing of any evil, the performance of whatâs skillful, the cleansing of oneâs own mind: this is the teaching of the Awakened. Patient endurance: the foremost austerity. Unbinding: the foremost, so say the Awakened. He who injures another is no contemplative. He who mistreats another, no monk. Not disparaging, not injuring, restraint in line with the Patimokkha, moderation in food, dwelling in                  seclusion, commitment to the heightened mind: this is the teaching of the Awakened. 183-185* Not even if it rained gold coins would we have our fill of sensual pleasures. ),

('â', Stressful, they give little enjoymentâ– knowing this, the wise one finds no delight even in heavenly sensual pleasures. He is one who delights in the ending of craving, a disciple of the Rightly Self-Awakened One. 186-187 They go to many a refuge, to mountains & forests, to park & tree shrines: people threatened with danger. Thatâs not the secure refuge, not the supreme refuge, thatâs not the refuge, having gone to which, you gain release from all suffering & stress. But when, having gone to the Buddha, Dhamma, & Sangha for refuge, you see with right discernment the four noble truths– stress, the cause of stress, the transcending of stress, & the noble eightfold path, the way to the stilling of stress: thatâs the secure refuge, that, the supreme refuge, that is the refuge, having gone to which, you gain release from all suffering & stress. 188-192* Itâs hard to come by a thoroughbred of a man. Itâs simply not true that heâs born everywhere. Wherever heâs born, an enlightened one, the family prospers, is happy. 193 A blessing:      the arising of Awakened Ones. A blessing:      the teaching of true Dhamma. A blessing:      the concord of the Sangha. The austerity of those in concord is a blessing. 194 If you worship those worthy of worship, –Awakened Ones or their disciples– whoâve transcended objectification, crossed over lamentation & grief, who are unendangered, fearless, unbound: thereâs no measure for reckoning that your meritâs ),
