– So It Was Said 80

The Book of the Threes Chapter Four Thoughts

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

“Mendicants, there are these three unskillful thoughts. What three? The thought of status; of getting material things, honor, and popularity; and of fondness for others. These are the three unskillful thoughts.”

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

“One concerned with being looked up to,with possessions, honor, and respect,with sharing joys with friends,is far from the ending of fetters.But one who gives up children and herds,marriage and acquisitions—such a mendicant is capableof experiencing the highest awakening.”

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