- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- Master yourself according to the law.
- This is the simple teaching of the awakened.
- The rain could turn to gold
- And still your thirst would not be slaked.
- Desire is unquenchable
- Or it ends in tears, even in heaven.
- He who wishes to awake
- Consumes his desires
- Joyfully.
- In his fear a man may shelter
- In mountains or in forests,
- In groves of sacred trees or in shrines.
- But how can he hide there from his sorrow?
- He who shelters in the way
- And travels with those who follow it
- Comes to see the four great truths.
- Concerning sorrow,
- The beginning of sorrow,
- The eightfold way,
- And the end of sorrow.
- Then at last he is safe.
- He has shaken off sorrow.
- He is free.
- The awakened are few and hard to find.
- Happy is the house where a man awakes.
- Blessed is his birth.
- Blessed is the teaching of the way.
- Blessed is the understanding among those
- Who follow it,
- And blessed is their determination.
- And blessed are they who revere
- The man who awakes and follows the way.
- They are free from fear.
- They are free.
- They have crossed over the river of sorrow.
