Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutras
The Buddha said:
"O monks, you should not see women. (If you should have to see them), refrain from talking to them. (If you should have to talk), you should reflect in a right spirit: 'I am now a homeless mendicant. In the world of sin I must behave myself like unto the lotus-flower whose purity is not defiled by the mud. Old ones I will treat as my mother; elderly ones as elder sisters; younger ones as younger sisters; and little ones as daughters.' And in all this you should harbour no evil thoughts, but think of salvation."
The Buddha said:
"Those who walk in the way should avoid sensualism as those who carry hay would avoid coming near the fire."
