There the Buddha addressed the mendicants, \u201cMendicants!\u201d \u201cVenerable sir,\u201d they replied. The Buddha said this: \u201cPossessions, honor, and popularity are grim, bitter, and harsh. They\u2019re an obstacle to reaching the supreme sanctuary from the yoke. So you should train like this: \u2018We will give up arisen possessions, honor, and popularity, and we won\u2019t let them occupy our minds.\u2019 That\u2019s how you should train.\u201d","title":"Grim","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":81}
