At one time the Buddha was staying near S\u0101vatth\u012b in Jeta\u2019s Grove, An\u0101thapi\u1e47\u1e0dika\u2019s monastery. Now at that time most of the people in S\u0101vatth\u012b clung to sensual pleasures. Lustful, greedy, tied, infatuated, attached, and blinded, they lived completely addicted to sensual pleasures. Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered S\u0101vatth\u012b for alms. He saw how attached the humans were. Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment: \u201cBlinded by sensual pleasures, wrapped 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. They chase old age and death, like a suckling calf its mother.\u201d","title":"Clinging (2nd)","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":125}
