One unyoked from sensual pleasures but still yoked to rebirth is a non-returner, who comes not back to this place. One unyoked from both sensual pleasures and rebirth is a perfected one, who has ended defilements.\u201d The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said: \u201cYoked to both sensual pleasures and the desire to be reborn in a future life; sentient beings continue to transmigrate, with ongoing birth and death. Those who\u2019ve given up sensual pleasures without attaining the end of defilements, and are still yoked to being reborn, are said to be non-returners. Those who have cut off doubt, and ended conceit and future lives, they\u2019re the ones in this world <j>who\u2019ve truly crossed over, having reached the ending of defilements.\u201d This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.","title":"Yoked to Sensual Pleasures","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":172}
