One time Bhagavan at Rajagaha (Rajgir), mountain Gijjhakuta (Vulture), when Devadatta (Devadatta) waive (We increase) gone soon. Here's the Devadatta, Bhagavan to call monks and taught as follows:

- Here, monks, a man can have compassion ordained by faith, abandon their families, living without family: "I sunk in birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief , brain, sunk in misery, driven by misery. Very likely, the entire mass of ill may be terminated. " He ordained as such, is avaricious and honor, fame. Do avaricious, reverence, this fame, he joy, contentment. Do avaricious, reverence, this fame, he complimented her, belittle people: "We are so avaricious, such fame. But other monks lesser known, less powerful". He, as avaricious and honor, fame, becoming addicted, craving, restlessness. Because life distractions, he is suffering.

Chu monks, such as a person who wants to be the core plant, sought the tree core. In their search for wood pulp, before a large tree, upright, tree core, he is ignoring the core tree, tree feeling ignored, ignored in the shell, the outer bypass, cut foliage, take them away, That was the core idea that tree. A person with sight so they said: "Truly this man did not know the core tree, tree sensory unknown, unknown mantle, outer unknown, unknown leaves. The tree wants to be core, core plant sought . In their search for wood pulp, before a large tree, upright, tree core, core people overlook trees, tree feeling ignored, ignored in the shell, the outer bypass, cut foliage, take them away , which is the core idea that tree. And people do not achieve the purpose for which the core plant can achieve. " Similarly, here, the monks, have compassion for confidence men ordained death, abandoned the family, not family life: "I am sunk in birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief and distress, is dominated by suffering. We can all aggregates suffering can end. " He ordained as such, is avaricious and honor, fame. Do avaricious, reverence, this fame, he happy, smug.

He so avaricious, veneration, fame, becoming addicted, craving, restlessness. Because life distractions, he is suffering. Chu monks, monks have him called grasp foliage of dignity, as a result, he had to stop (here).

But here, the monks, devotees have your ordained death for faith, abandon their families, living without family: "I sunk in birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief , brain, sunk in misery, driven by suffering. We can all aggregates suffering can end. " Then he ordained as such, is avaricious and honor, fame. He does not so avaricious, reverence, this fame compliment her, belittle people. He does not so avaricious, reverence, fame becomes addicted, craving, restlessness. Do not heedless life, he accomplished virtue. Due to this moral achievement, he happy, smug. Because achievements, this virtue, he criticized people compliment her: "I am the morality, according to dhamma. The other monks out instructions, follow the evil law". Due to this moral achievement, he became addicted, craving, restlessness. Because life distractions, he is suffering.

Chu monks, such as a person who wants to be the core plant, sought the tree core. In their search for wood pulp, before a large tree, upright, tree core, he is ignoring the core tree, tree feeling ignored, ignored in the shell, tight outer shell, take them away, that is the core idea tree . A person with sight so they said: "Truly this man did not know the core tree, tree sensory unknown, unknown mantle, outer unknown, unknown leaves. The tree wants to be core, core plant sought .

And this person does not achieve the purpose for which the core plant can achieve. " Also, the monks, here monks because faith ordained, abandoned the family, not family life ... (as above) ... Due to this moral achievement, he became addicted, craving, restlessness. Because life distractions, he is suffering. Chu monks, monks have him called to embrace the outside of dignity. And so, he did stop (here).

But here, the monks, have compassion for confidence men ordained death, abandoned the family, not family life: "I was lost in the cycle of birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain and grief, brain, sunk in misery, driven by suffering. We can all suffer aggregates may be terminated. " Then he ordained as such, is avaricious and honor, fame. He does not so avaricious, reverence, this fame, give me, belittle people. He does not so avaricious, reverence, fame becomes addicted, craving, restlessness. Do not heedless life, he accomplished virtue. Due to this moral achievement, he happy, but not complacent. Due to this moral achievement, he does not compliment her, belittle people. Due to this moral achievement, he does not become addicted, craving, restlessness. Do not heedless life, he accomplished meditation. Because achievements meditations, he happy, smug. Because achievements meditations, he criticized people compliment her: "We have one focus and meditate. The other monks no meditation, the mind distracted."

Do achievements meditations, he became addicted, craving, restlessness. Because life distractions, he is suffering. Chu monks, so he called the monks was held in the holy shell. And so, he did stop (here).

Again, here, a man can have compassion, because faith ordained, abandoned the family, not family life: "I was lost in the cycle of birth, old age, death, grief, lamentation, pain, grief and distress, sunk in misery, driven by suffering. We can all aggregates suffering can end. " He ordained as such, is avaricious and honor, fame. He does not so avaricious, reverence, this fame joy, smug. He does not so avaricious, reverence, this fame, give me, belittle people. He does not so avaricious, reverence, fame becomes addicted, craving, restlessness.

The other monks live, do not see and do not know". He, by this knowledge, become addicted, craving, restlessness. Because he lived distraction suffering.

In their search for wood pulp, before a large tree, upright, tree core, the core bypass tree, cut the tree senses taken away, that is the core idea tree. A person with sight so they said: "Truly this man did not know the core tree, tree sensory unknown, unknown mantle, outer unknown, unknown leaves. The tree wants to be core, core plant sought . Before a large tree, upright, tree core, he is ignoring the core plants, cut trees and carry away feeling, thought it was a tree core. And he does not achieve the purpose for which the core plant can accomplish. Also So the monks, here, a man can have compassion, because faith ordained, abandoned the family, family life ... This is not it, because this knowledge up addicted, craving, restlessness . Because life distractions, you were suffering. Chu monks, so this position is called the tree held sense of dignity. And so, he did stop (here). "

Again, here, the monks, is located south Compassion death, because trust renunciation, abandoning the family, not family life: "I was lost in the cycle of birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation , pain, grief, brain, sunk in misery, driven by suffering. We can all aggregates suffering can end. " He ordained as such, is avaricious and honor, fame. He does not so avaricious, reverence, this fame joy, smug.

This achievement was not because this knowledge becomes addicted, craving, restlessness. Do not heedless life, he accomplished timeless liberation. The monks, the situation can not happen, that monks could abandon her timeless liberation.

This monks, such as a tree wants to be core, core plant sought. In their search for wood pulp, before a large tree, upright, tree core, he cut tree cores, carried away and know it's the tree core. Some people have seen such eyes, we can say: "This person said core plant, said plant sense, know mantle, said outer shell, said foliage. The tree wants to be core, seek tree cores. While going looking tree cores, before a large tree, upright, tree core, he cut tree cores, carried away and know it's the core self tree. And he achieved that core purpose tree can make. " Also, the monks, here an element Good men, for faith-home, leaving family, no family life: "I am sunk in birth, aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief , brain, sunk in misery, driven by suffering. Very likely, the entire mass of ill this can end. " He ordained as such, is avaricious and honor, fame. He does not so avaricious, reverence, this fame joy, smug.

And the monks, freeing estate center is the purpose of this holy, is the center of the plant, which is the ultimate goal of dignity.
