"The Tathṅgata enjoys non-ill will, delights in non-ill will. To him–enjoying non-ill will, delighting in non-ill will–this thought often occurs: ),

('â', Whatever is unskillful is abandoned.â "Thus, monks, you too should live enjoying non-ill will, delighting in non-ill will. To you–enjoying non-ill will, delighting in non-ill will–this thought will often occur: ),

('â', What is unskillful? What is not yet abandoned? What are we abandoning?â" To the Tathṅgata, awakened, who endured what is hard to endure, two thoughts occur: safety the first thought mentioned; seclusion the second declared. The dispeller of darkness, free of effluent, the great seer who has gone beyond, reached attainment, gained mastery, crossed over the poisons; whoâs released in the ending of craving: that sage bears his last body, has shaken off Mṅra, I tell you, has gone      beyond aging. As one standing on a rocky crag would see the people all around below, so the wise one, with the all-around eye, having scaled the tower made of Dhamma, having crossed over sorrow, gazes on those overwhelmed with sorrow, conquered by aging & death.
