Since I couldn\u2019t get my mind unified, I was racked by desire for pleasures of the senses. Wailing, with outstretched arms, I left my dwelling. Or shall I commit suicide? What\u2019s the point of living? For how on earth can one such as me die after resigning the training? Then I picked up a razor, I sat on a cot: the razor was ready to slice my vein. Then the realization came upon me\u2014 the danger became clear, and I was firmly disillusioned. Then my mind was freed\u2014 behold the clear rightness of the teaching! I\u2019ve attained the three knowledges, and fulfilled the Buddha\u2019s instructions.","title":"Sappad\u0101sa","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":126}
