Chances are, this whole aggregate of suffering can be stopped." He left home like this, benefited, respected, and famous. Because of this gain, respect, and fame, he is happy and satisfied. Due to this benefit, respect, and fame, he praises himself, criticizes others: "I have such benefits, such fame. The other Male-stilts are little known, have little authority." He, for this gain, respect, and fame, becomes infatuated, covetous, and distracted. Due to heedlessness, he suffers. Male-stilts, like a person who wants to get the core of a tree, looks for the core of the tree. While searching for a tree core, in front of a large, upright tree with a core, he bypasses the core, ignores the trunk, ignores the inner bark, ignores the outer bark, cuts off the branches and leaves, takes them away, thought it was the core of the tree. A man with eyes saw this and said, "Actually, this person does not know the core of the tree, does not know the trunk, does not know the inner bark, does not know the outer bark, does not know the branches. While searching for a tree core, in front of a large, upright, cored tree, this person bypasses the core, ignores the trunk, ignores the inner bark, ignores the outer bark, cuts off the branches and leaves, and takes them away. , thinking that it was the core of the tree. And this person did not achieve the goal that the tree core could achieve." Likewise, here, bhikkhus, there is a good man who, out of faith, renounces the family, lives in homelessness: "We are immersed in birth, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, grief, and despair, dominated by suffering. It is very possible that this whole aggregate of suffering can come to an end." He left home like this, benefited, respected, and famous. Because of this gain, respect, and fame, he is happy and self-satisfied. Because of this gain, respect, and fame, he praises himself and criticizes others: "I have gained such benefit and such fame, But the other bhikkhus are little known and have little authority." For this gain, respect, and fame, he becomes infatuated, greedy, and distracted. Due to heedlessness, he suffers. Monks, that bhikkhu is called one who has grasped the branches of the holy life, therefore he has stopped (here). benefit, respect, and fame. Because of this gain, respect, and fame, he is happy and self-satisfied. Because of this gain, respect, and fame, he praises himself and criticizes others: "I have gained such benefit and such fame, But the other bhikkhus are little known and have little authority."

He does not for the sake of nurturing, respecting, this fame praises himself, criticizes others. He does not for the sake of gain, respect, and fame becomes infatuation, greed, distraction. By living undistractedly, he attains the precepts. By accomplishing this virtue, he is happy and self-satisfied. Due to this achievement and virtue, he praised himself and criticized others: "I am the one who maintains the precepts, following the good law. The other Male-stilts break the precepts and follow the evil laws." By accomplishing this virtue, he becomes infatuated, lustful, and distracted. Due to a hectic life, Male-stilts, like a person who wants to get the core of a tree, looks for the core of the tree. While searching for tree cores, in front of a large, upright tree with cores, he ignores the core, ignores the trunk, ignores the inner bark, cuts off the outer bark, takes them away, thinking it is the core of the tree. . A man with eyes saw this and said, "Actually, this person does not know the core of the tree, does not know the trunk, does not know the inner bark, does not know the outer bark, does not know the branches. While looking for a tree core, in front of a large, upright tree with a core, this person ignored the core, ignored the trunk, ignored the inner bark, cut off the outer bark, took them away, thinking it was the core. tree. And this man did not achieve what the core of the tree could achieve." In the same way, the Male-stilts, here the Male-stilts, out of faith in renunciation, renounce the family, live without family... (as above)... Due to the achievement of this virtue, he becomes infatuated, infatuated, distracted. Due to heedlessness, he suffers. Monks, that bhikkhu is called one who has taken hold of the outer shell of the holy life. And so he stopped (here). But here, bhikkhus, there is a good man who, out of faith, has left home and is homeless: "I am drowning in the cycle of birth, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain and grief, brain, immersed in suffering, dominated by suffering. It is very possible that this whole aggregate of suffering can be stopped." Then he left home like this, gaining benefit, respect, and fame. He does not for this benefit, respect, fame, praise himself, criticize others. He does not for the sake of gain, respect, and fame becomes infatuation, greed, distraction.

By living without distraction, he achieves meditation. Due to this meditative achievement, he is happy, complacent. Due to this meditative achievement, he praised himself and criticized others: "I have one-pointed meditation. The other Male-stilts do not meditate, the mind is scattered." Due to this meditative attainment, he becomes infatuated, infatuated, and distracted. Due to heedlessness, he suffers.

While looking for tree cores, in front of a large, upright tree with cores, he overlooked the core, ignored the tree trunk, cut off the inner bark, took them away, thinking it was the core of the tree. A man with eyes saw this and said, "Really, this person does not know the core of the tree, does not know the trunk, does not know the inner bark, does not know the outer bark, does not know the branches. While looking for a tree core, in front of a large tree with a core, this person ignored the core, ignored the trunk, cut off the inner bark, took it away, thinking it was the core. And this person did not achieve the goal. the core can be accomplished".
