Seated to one side, King Pasenadi said to the Buddha, \u201cSir, when I\u2019m sitting in court I see well-to-do aristocrats, brahmins, and householders\u2014rich, affluent, and wealthy, with lots of gold and silver, lots of property and assets, and lots of money and grain. But they tell deliberate lies for the sake of sensual pleasures. Then it occurred to me: \u2018Enough with passing judgment today. Now my dearest will be known by the judgments he makes.\u2019\u201d \u201cThat\u2019s so true, Great King! That\u2019s so true! Those who are well-to-do aristocrats, brahmins, and householders tell deliberate lies for the sake of sensual pleasures. That is for their lasting harm and suffering.\u201d That is what the Buddha said. \u2026 \u201cFull of desire for possessions and pleasures, greedy, infatuated by sensual pleasures; they don\u2019t notice that they\u2019ve gone too far, like fish swiftly snared. It\u2019ll be bitter later on; for the result will be bad for them.\u201d","title":"Judgment","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":154}
