At one time several mendicants were staying in the Kosalan lands, in a wilderness hut on the slopes of the Himalayas. They were haughty, insolent, fickle, scurrilous, loose-tongued, unmindful, lacking situational awareness and immersion, with straying minds and undisciplined faculties. Then on the fifteenth day sabbath the godling Jantu went up to those mendicants and addressed them in verse: \u201cThe mendicants used to live happily, as disciples of Gotama. Desireless they sought alms; desireless they used their lodgings. Knowing that the world was impermanent they made an end of suffering. But now they\u2019ve made themselves hard to look after, like chiefs in a village. They eat and eat and then lie down, passed out in the homes of others. Having raised my cupped palms to the Sa\u1e45gha, I speak here only about certain people. They\u2019re dregs, with no protector, just like those who have passed away. I\u2019m speaking about those who live negligently. To those who live diligently I pay homage.\u201d","title":"With Jantu","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":165}
