Then a spirit who was Sakka in name only went up to the Buddha, and addressed him in verse: \u201cYou\u2019ve given up all ties, and are fully freed. It\u2019s not a good idea for you, ascetic, to be instructing others.\u201d \u201cNo matter how you explain why people gather together, Sakka, it\u2019s unworthy for a wise person not to think of the other with sympathy. If you instruct others with a mind clear and confident, your compassion and empathy don\u2019t create attachments.\u201d","title":"Sakka In Name Only","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":95}
