They encourage their disciple: \u2018Please, my man, rising early you should face east and walk. Do not avoid a pit, a cliff, a stump, thorny ground, a swamp, or a sewer. You should await death in the place that you fall. And when your body breaks up, after death, you\u2019ll be reborn in a good place, a heaven realm.\u2019 But this practice of the brahmins is a foolish procedure, a stupid procedure. It doesn\u2019t lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, or extinguishment. But in the training of the Noble One I advocate a \u2018get up and go\u2019 practice which does lead solely to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment. And what is that \u2018get up and go\u2019 practice? It\u2019s when a noble disciple has experiential confidence in the Buddha \u2026 the teaching \u2026 the Sa\u1e45gha \u2026 And they have the ethical conduct loved by the noble ones \u2026 leading to immersion. This is that \u2018get up and go\u2019 practice which does lead solely to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment.\u201d","title":"The Brahmins","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":189}
