Do you honor he who holds aloft the torch for all humanity?\u201d \u201cFamiliarity breeds no contempt for the man of wisdom. I always honor he who holds aloft the torch for all humanity.\u201d \u201cOne who\u2019s given up the five sensual stimulations, so pleasing and delightful, and who\u2019s left the home life out of faith\u2014 let them make an end to suffering! Mix with spiritual friends, stay in remote lodgings, secluded and quiet, and eat in moderation. Robes, almsfood, requisites and lodgings: don\u2019t crave such things; don\u2019t come back to this world again. Be restrained in the monastic code and the five sense faculties. With mindfulness immersed in the body, be full of disillusionment. Turn away from the sign that\u2019s attractive, provoking lust. With mind unified and serene, meditate on the ugly aspects of the body. Meditate on the signless, give up the tendency to conceit; and when you comprehend conceit, you will live at peace.\u201d That is how the Buddha regularly advised Venerable R\u0101hula with these verses.","title":"With R\u0101hula","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":177}
