14. Burning Chaff

Full of Disillusionment

At Sāvatthī.

“Bhikkhus, when a gentleman has gone forth out of faith, this is what’s in line with the teachings. They should live full of disillusionment for form, feeling, perception, functioning patterns, and consciousness. Living in this way, they completely understand form, feeling, perception, functioning patterns, and consciousness. Completely understanding form, feeling, perception, functioning patterns, and consciousness, they’re freed from these things. They’re freed from rebirth, old age, and death, from sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress. They’re freed from suffering, I say.”
