One was sitting in the open air while oil lamps were burning. And on that occasion, many flying insects, flying into & around those lamps, were meeting their downfall, meeting their misfortune, meeting their downfall & misfortune in those oil lamps. The Blessed One saw those flying insects, flying into & around those lamps, meeting their downfall, meeting their misfortune, meeting their downfall & misfortune in those oil lamps. Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed: Rushing headlong, missing whatâs essential, bringing on one new bond after another, they fall, like insects into a flame: those intent on things seen, things heard. - --> - - - -
