What two? Not guarding the sense doors and eating too much. When a mendicant possesses these two qualities they live unhappily in this very life\u2014with distress, anguish, and fever\u2014 and when the body breaks up, after death, they can expect a bad rebirth.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cEye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and likewise mind: a mendicant who leaves these sense doors unguarded\u2014 immoderate in eating, sense faculties unrestrained\u2014 reaps suffering both physical and mental. Burning in body, burning in mind, by day or by night such a person lives in suffering.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Living in Suffering","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":161}
