- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- The Buddha said:
- "There is nothing like lust. Lust may be said to be the most powerful passion. Fortunately, we have but one thing which is more powerful. If the thirst for truth were weaker than passion, how many of us in the world would be able to follow the way of righteousness?"
- The Buddha said:
- "Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burnt."
- The Lord of heaven offered a beautiful fairy to the Buddha, desiring to tempt him to the evil path. But the Buddha said: "Be gone! What use have I for the leather bag filled with filth which you have brought to me?" Then, the God reverently bowed and asked the Buddha about the essence of the way, in which having been instructed by the Buddha, it is said, he attained the srotaapanna fruit.
