notes

synopsis

Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.

The sutra

The Buddha said:

Those who study the doctrine of the buddhas will do well to believe and observe all that is taught by them. It is like unto honey; it is sweet within, it is sweet without, it is sweet throughout; so is the Buddha's teaching.

O monks, you must not walk on the way as the ox that is attached to a wheel. His body moves, but his heart is. Not willing. But when your hearts are in accord with the way, there is no need of troubling yourselves about your outward demeanor.

Those who practise the way might well follow the example of an ox that marches through the deep mire carrying a heavy load. He is tired, but his steady gaze, looking forward, will never relax until he comes out of the mire, and it is only then that he takes a respite. O monks, remember that passions and sins are more than the filthy mire, and that you can escape misery only by earnestly and steadily thinking of the way.
