---

Thus have I heard.
One time Bhagavan at Savatthi (Xa-defense), Jetavana (America-did), he Anathapinka Vihara (Anathapindika).
Then wanderer Vekhanassa come to Bhagavan in, after arriving, speak words of welcome to inquire with Bhagavan, after voicing welcome friends ask, stood aside. Stand aside, wanderer Vekhanassa inspired words uttered before the Exalted following:
- Lust is paramount, this is the supreme excellence.
- But this Kaccana, so he said the following: "Lust is paramount, this is the supreme excellence"?
- Venerable Gotama, does not have a color other color nobler or more wins, this identity is paramount.
- But this Kaccana, excellent color was nothing without other sharp superior or more wins?
- Venerable Gotama, does not have a brilliant color nobler or more wins, he is the supreme excellence.
- Hey Kaccana, His explanation just so long, he must explain more widely. If he says: "The venerable Gotama, does not have a brilliant color nobler or more wins, that is the ultimate identity", the identity he did not specify. Kaccana this, for as it is said: "I love and craving a beautiful girl in this country". Someone asked: "Hey, pretty girl that you love and attachment that, you know what was the class; the Chad-Delhi, or Brahmin, or Phệ-amnesty, or Autumn momentum? " When asked, he answered not know. Someone asked: "Hey you, beautiful girl you love and attachment that, you know what name they do, great people, low or middle man? Caucasian Dark, dark tan skin and ruddy? In in villages, towns or cities? " When asked this, he answered not know. Someone asked: "Hey you, so must you love and attachment a person you do not know, do not see?" Asked this, he replied to. Kaccana Hey, what do you think? The situation is such, the speech of the person is not a performance not?
- White venerable Gotama, the situation is such, the words he truly is no performance.
- Also, this Kaccana, when he said: "Venerable Gotama, the color does not have a different color nobler or more wins, his identity is paramount," the time He did not specify identity.
- For example, my venerable Gotama, a jeweled stone lapis, beautiful, transparent, octahedral, clever sanding, grinding cleverly placed on a light-colored veil, itself shining, dazzling up, flashes light up. With sharp fins, ego is not sick, and after death.
- Hey Kaccana, What do you think? A jeweled stone lapis beautiful, transparent, octahedral, clever clever sanding grinding, mounted on a light-colored veil, itself shining, dazzling up, brighten up, or worm fireflies in the night gloomy, between the optical excellence, more subtle yet sharp optics and wins more?
- Dear Venerable Gotama, worm fireflies in the dark night of magic is more gloomy and more wins between two optical excellence.
- Hey Kaccana, What do you think? Worm fireflies in the dark night blindness or oil lamp in the dark night blindness, optic between this sharp, sharp yet subtle rays more and more wins?
- Dear Venerable Gotama, oil lamp in the dark night blindness, optic color this wonderful oil lamp and wins more than two optical excellence.
- Hey Kaccana, What do you think? Oil lamp in the dark night blindness, or a large bonfire in the dark night blindness, optic between this sharp, sharp yet subtle rays more and more wins?
- Dear Venerable Gotama, large bonfires in the dark night blindness, this optical magic color and wins more than two optical excellence.
- Hey Kaccana, What do you think? Large bonfire in the dark night blindness or morning star in the cloudless morning at dawn, between two optical this sharp, sharp yet subtle optical and wins more?
- Dear Venerable Gotama, stars in a cloudless morning at dawn, the subtle optical color more and more wins between two optical excellence.
- Hey Kaccana, What do you think? Person (Lucifer) morning star in the sky in bright, cloudless, in the dawn or the moon while standing shadow, in a clear sky, no clouds at midnight, the day uposatha (Beef slap) on full moon day. This identity between two optical, optical excellence and yet more wonderful than wins?
- Dear Venerable Gotama, moon while standing shadow, in a clear sky, no clouds, at midnight, the day uposatha (Bodhisattva) on the full moon day, the subtle optical excellence and wins Optical than two colors.
- Hey Kaccana, What do you think? Moon while standing shadow, in a cloudless sky clear, at midnight, the day uposatha (Bodhisattva) on the full moon, or the sun while standing shadow, in a clear sky cloudless , at noon, in the last month of autumn rainy season, between two optical excellence, the optical excellence yet more wonderful and more wins?
- Dear Venerable Gotama, sun while standing shadow, in a cloudless sky clear, at noon, in the last months of the rainy season in the fall, this sharp optics more wonderful and more wins.
- Hey Kaccana, optical excellence over all that there are many, very many gods, but the light of the moon, the sun can not shine. I know him and I do not Devas said: "There is a more subtle yet sharp optics and optical revenge win over his identity." And he, this Kaccana, he said: "This excellent inferior Optics, Optical weaker worm Firefly sharp, sharp optics that is supreme", and He did not specify the color rays.
This Kaccana, have nurtured education in this. What is the year? The eyes perceive color, her loving, pleasurable, capable attention, ability rapture, relate to sexual and attractive; the language by ear ... the flavor perception because perception ... of your nose by tongue ... the emotional perception by the body awareness, compassion, communication ability, ability standard, capable joy, related to education , interesting. Kaccana Hey, those are five nourish fitness. This Kaccana, optimism and joy does arise, cultivate sexual affinity with this year, called sensual. Thus, because education should be sensual; from the sensual, supreme fitness optimistic referred here is paramount.
To be told that, wanderer Vekhanassa lord:
- It's rather wonderful, venerable sir! It's rather rare, venerable sir! Venerable Gotama were well say: "Because sex should be pleasure; from the sensual, supreme fitness optimistic referred here is paramount."
- This is hard to understand Could be, this Kaccana, of fitness, or pleasure, or ultimate sexual touch. He was under the mortgage is different, belonging to different endurance, of other purposes, under different practices, from other teachers. Kaccana this, but for monks is level Arhat, taints took advantage, into complacent practice, did what to do, laid down the burden, reached the goal, was the exception Organic fetters, was freed by right knowledge, what he said: "Sexual, sensual, or ultimate sexual touch."
When they heard that, wanderer Vekhanassa, indignation and discontent, the Exalted reviled, disparaged both Bhagavan and said:
- Recluse Gotama will fall into touch.
And wanderer Vekhanassa Exalted said:
- But so, here, have some recluse, Brahmin did not know about the past, do not see the future, but the claim he "was killed Sanh Pham happy succeeded, what they can do has been done, did not come back from this life anymore. " So their words prove that funny, proves itself the lip, self proved empty, self-proved a delusion.
- Hey Kaccana, the recluse, Brahmin does not know about the past, do not see the future, but claim to know: "Sanh took advantage, on well-succeeded, the thing to do was do not even come back to this life again ", disclaimers such criticisms about them are legitimate. But this Kaccana, ignore the past, ignore the future. Come, who have no place to fraud, not cunning, feet directly and say: "We teach, we preach". If the practice as it is taught, the time was not long he knows himself, finds himself: "So true is freed from bondage right, ie the constraints of ignorance". For example, this Kaccana, a child, little, weak, lying on his back, tied with five bound neck, probably made of wire. After he grew up, after the house it matured, it is freed from the bondage that, while no longer binding, it said: "We are freed". Also, this Kaccana, go to a location no fraud, no cunning, feet directly and say: "We teach, we preach". If the practice as it is taught, the time was not long he knows himself, finds himself: "So true is freed from bondage right, ie the constraints of ignorance".
When they heard that, wanderer Vekhanassa lord:
- It's rather wonderful, venerable Gotama! It's rather wonderful, venerable Gotama! As people stand up to what was overturned, exposing what was covered, only way for those going astray, bring light into the darkness for those who have eyes can see colors; also, dharma was venerable Gotama presented using various means explained. Bhagavan I take refuge, refuge France and refuge Monks increase. Please Exalted adoption as his disciple.
