Since my defilements have ended, since there are no more future lives\u2014 I\u2019m perfected, worthy of offerings, master of the three knowledges, <j>seer of freedom from death. Blinded by sensual pleasures, trapped in a net, they are smothered over by craving; bound by the kinsman of the negligent, like a fish caught in a funnel-net trap. Having thrown off those sensual pleasures, having cut M\u0101ra\u2019s bond, and having plucked out craving, root and all: I\u2019m cooled, quenched.","title":"R\u0101hula","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":103}
