– The Book of the Ones 5

The Book of the Ones Chapter One Disdain

This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

“Mendicants, give up one thing. and I guarantee you non-return. What one thing? Disdain is the one thing. Give it up, and I guarantee you non-return.”

The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

“When overcome by disdainbeings go to a bad place.Having rightly understood that disdain,the discerning give it up.Once they’ve given it up,they never return to this world.”

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
