By directly knowing and completely understanding conceit, having dispassion for it and giving it up, you can end suffering.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cThese folk are caught up in conceit, tied by conceit, delighting in existence. Not completely understanding conceit, they return in future lives. Those who have given up conceit, freed with the ending of conceit, vanquishers of the tie of conceit, have risen above all suffering.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Complete Understanding of Conceit","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":125}
