1 00:00:01,347 --> 00:00:03,835 Hello and welcome back to our study of the Dhammapada. 2 00:00:04,557 --> 00:00:09,432 Today we continue on with verse number 93, which reads as follows. 3 00:00:11,097 --> 00:00:13,585 Yasasava parikhinah 4 00:00:17,463 --> 00:00:40,635 ahare ca anisito sunyato animito ca vimokoyasa gojaro akase wa sakuntanang padang tasa duranayang which means 5 00:00:44,817 --> 00:00:52,537 Yasasava parikhina means one whose asavas, asava is the taints, it's one way of talking about defilements. 6 00:00:53,499 --> 00:01:00,497 So one whose mental defilements are completely cut off. 7 00:01:03,532 --> 00:01:09,283 who isn't dependent on food, who is independent in regards to food. 8 00:01:10,525 --> 00:01:11,908 Again, this is a verse about food. 9 00:01:13,050 --> 00:01:17,639 Same as yesterday. 10 00:01:18,861 --> 00:01:22,789 For such a person, or for who, 11 00:01:24,052 --> 00:01:28,178 It actually isn't saying what I, it isn't exactly what I said. 12 00:01:28,259 --> 00:01:46,026 It's yasa gocharo, so who's, so apart from being unattached to food, they also dwell in emptiness, the liberation through emptiness and the liberation through signlessness. 13 00:01:46,006 --> 00:02:00,803 Such a person, just like a bird in the sky, it's hard to know their path. 14 00:02:01,865 --> 00:02:09,173 So yesterday it was hard to know their gati, which means their destination. 15 00:02:10,054 --> 00:02:12,537 But here it's padang, which means their path. 16 00:02:13,883 --> 00:02:16,507 So a bird in the sky, you can't see where it's going. 17 00:02:16,547 --> 00:02:22,355 There's no sign that it's going here or going there, or where it's gone, right? 18 00:02:22,375 --> 00:02:23,236 You can't follow it. 19 00:02:24,538 --> 00:02:34,812 You can't track a bird in the sky in the same way you can't track a person who is free, who has attained to freedom from suffering, attained liberation. 20 00:02:37,188 --> 00:02:37,989 So that's the story. 21 00:02:38,069 --> 00:02:41,172 Again, it's a very short story. 22 00:02:41,192 --> 00:02:45,698 The story here is about Anuruddha. 23 00:02:45,718 --> 00:02:48,140 It's an interesting story, one that I often think of. 24 00:02:50,883 --> 00:03:01,255 The ideal for a Buddhist monk is to search for robes in the garbage. 25 00:03:02,483 --> 00:03:08,417 Now you don't find too much cotton cloth in the garbage anymore. 26 00:03:09,459 --> 00:03:19,362 It's probably actually pretty difficult in most places, even in Asia, to find cotton cloth. 27 00:03:19,342 --> 00:03:25,070 or any kind of cloth that could be useful to make a robe that anyone's thrown out. 28 00:03:25,210 --> 00:03:26,552 I mean, stained isn't a problem. 29 00:03:26,612 --> 00:03:36,906 It's just to find a piece of cloth or enough pieces of cloth, because unless you're going to make a robe out of plastic bags, our garbage has changed to the point where it's hard. 30 00:03:36,966 --> 00:03:39,149 But this was the thing. 31 00:03:39,229 --> 00:03:46,058 So Anuruddha, his robes got worn out, and he was wandering around looking for cloth to make new robes. 32 00:03:47,135 --> 00:03:55,778 And so he was going from one rubbish heap to another, wandering through the city of Veluvana, the city of Rajgaha. 33 00:03:58,525 --> 00:04:04,614 And it turns out that there was an ex-wife of his. 34 00:04:05,456 --> 00:04:16,854 His ex-wife decided that, or found out about this and made the determination in her mind to get him some robes. 35 00:04:17,735 --> 00:04:21,040 Now you might ask, how did Anuruddha have an ex-wife? 36 00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:28,970 If you don't know much about Anuruddha, you might not ask, but if you know anything about Anuruddha, you'll know he ordained when he was quite young. 37 00:04:29,711 --> 00:04:42,808 All the other Sakyan, he's a relative of the Buddha, a cousin, I think, and all the other Sakyan princes were becoming monks, except for Anuruddha and his older brother, Mahanama. 38 00:04:44,003 --> 00:04:48,751 And so Mahanama came to Anuruddha and said, look, everybody else is ordaining. 39 00:04:48,811 --> 00:04:53,057 Every other family in our clan is sending somebody out to ordain. 40 00:04:53,638 --> 00:05:04,115 So our family should have someone as a monk as well, just so we don't, you know, just to, for the glory or, you know, just for the goodness of our family. 41 00:05:04,155 --> 00:05:05,978 Mahanama thought this was important. 42 00:05:07,477 --> 00:05:22,515 And so he said, so either you or I should become a monk, and the other one will stay and become a rich householder and a businessman. 43 00:05:22,495 --> 00:05:26,460 And he said, wow, you know, I mean, becoming a monk looks really difficult. 44 00:05:28,042 --> 00:05:32,108 I think I'd prefer to stay, Anuruddha said, I think I'd prefer to stay as a lay person. 45 00:05:33,810 --> 00:05:37,375 But Mahanama said, okay, well then, in that case, I'm going to have to teach you. 46 00:05:37,415 --> 00:05:42,141 Because Anuruddha was really, if you remember the story about the nutty cakes, 47 00:05:42,121 --> 00:05:46,227 which is a story for another time, I've already told that story. 48 00:05:47,089 --> 00:05:49,332 But Anuruddha was incredibly naive. 49 00:05:49,592 --> 00:05:59,067 He wasn't stupid, but he was totally naive in the purest sense, and he just had no experience, he'd never been 50 00:05:59,047 --> 00:06:03,792 had any contact with hardship or difficulty. 51 00:06:04,333 --> 00:06:07,717 And so when his mother said, there are no cakes, he was confused. 52 00:06:08,317 --> 00:06:11,721 And he thought she was saying, all I've got is these nutty cakes. 53 00:06:11,781 --> 00:06:13,664 Nutty meaning there aren't. 54 00:06:15,506 --> 00:06:17,548 And so he said, well, bring me some nutty cakes. 55 00:06:19,010 --> 00:06:25,577 And so now he thought, well, looking at how difficult it is to be a monk, it doesn't really look like something I'd be interested in. 56 00:06:27,717 --> 00:06:31,685 And so Mahana sat him down and started explaining to him what he would have to do. 57 00:06:31,745 --> 00:06:42,106 Well, you know, first you have to gather the farmers together and you have to plant the rice and then you have to grow the rice and take care of it and guard off pests and so on. 58 00:06:42,186 --> 00:06:49,000 And water, make sure the irrigation is proper and then you have to mill the grain and then you have to... 59 00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:53,870 store it and then you have to bring it to the market and sell it and he went on. 60 00:06:54,311 --> 00:06:56,014 And Anuradha just said, stop, stop. 61 00:06:56,556 --> 00:06:57,678 There's no way I'm doing it. 62 00:06:57,698 --> 00:06:58,740 He was just horrified. 63 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,426 He said, there's no way I'm going to do that. 64 00:07:01,446 --> 00:07:04,592 Absolutely, becoming a monk is far, far preferable. 65 00:07:08,065 --> 00:07:09,928 He couldn't believe the sort of thing. 66 00:07:09,948 --> 00:07:24,729 And so it's sort of a refreshing look, because most people are kind of resigned to the fact, well, of course you have to work a nine-to-five job, but it's nice to have sort of an outside opinion of someone who hasn't done it, and thinking, geez, why wouldn't I just become a monk? 67 00:07:26,892 --> 00:07:30,057 Kind of refreshing, because people think, oh, how difficult it would be to be a monk. 68 00:07:31,758 --> 00:07:34,782 And you don't have to work nine to five, that's for sure. 69 00:07:36,104 --> 00:07:41,972 And you don't have to do all the things that... I don't have to put up with so many of the things that lay people put up with. 70 00:07:42,412 --> 00:07:44,635 Of course, there are many other challenges, obviously. 71 00:07:46,177 --> 00:07:52,265 But Anuruddha... Ah, yes, so the point being that he had no wife. 72 00:07:52,906 --> 00:07:54,188 He was too young when he ordained. 73 00:07:55,049 --> 00:07:59,655 He wasn't, I guess, too young, but he had not a wife, as far as I know. 74 00:08:01,272 --> 00:08:04,476 But this was an ex-wife from three lives ago. 75 00:08:04,656 --> 00:08:13,327 And I'm not sure how they know that, but it's been handed down as how it was. 76 00:08:13,687 --> 00:08:16,330 So three lifetimes ago, he had a wife. 77 00:08:17,692 --> 00:08:22,277 And she was reborn as a goddess, an angel, Jalini. 78 00:08:23,599 --> 00:08:24,360 That's what it says. 79 00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:28,939 And she wanted to offer him a robe because he needed the robe. 80 00:08:29,099 --> 00:08:35,297 And she thought, well, if I give it to him, he's not going to take it because he's intent upon getting a discarded robe. 81 00:08:36,721 --> 00:08:40,392 So she made this wonderful angelic robe. 82 00:08:41,317 --> 00:08:48,630 and placed it underneath a refuse pile with just the corner sticking out. 83 00:08:49,651 --> 00:08:53,618 And Anuruddha was coming along and he came up to this pile and he saw the corner and he pulled it out. 84 00:08:54,580 --> 00:09:00,891 And he thought, wow, what a, what a, he said, this is indeed a most remarkable refuse heap. 85 00:09:03,255 --> 00:09:04,337 And so he took the 86 00:09:06,983 --> 00:09:08,145 I guess there were more than one. 87 00:09:08,185 --> 00:09:11,030 He took the robes out, or the cloths out. 88 00:09:11,491 --> 00:09:12,834 It was just cloth, actually. 89 00:09:12,974 --> 00:09:16,360 They would start with cloth, and they would sew the robes themselves. 90 00:09:17,222 --> 00:09:17,983 And so that's what he did. 91 00:09:18,003 --> 00:09:21,830 He brought it back to the monastery, and all the other monks helped. 92 00:09:21,850 --> 00:09:23,152 So they got together in a circle. 93 00:09:23,513 --> 00:09:27,681 It says that everybody got involved with making him a robe. 94 00:09:28,001 --> 00:09:30,105 Anuruddha was just so well-loved. 95 00:09:30,085 --> 00:09:41,901 that they all got together and 500 monks with the Buddha as the head at the head and the 80 chief disciples came as well all for the purpose of 96 00:09:46,403 --> 00:09:47,565 No, not all. 97 00:09:47,605 --> 00:09:49,669 They didn't all get together, but they were all there. 98 00:09:49,729 --> 00:09:59,767 And the Mahakasabha was at the foot of the robe, Sariputta was in the middle, and Ananda was at the head. 99 00:10:00,088 --> 00:10:02,472 So these three powerhouse monks were 100 00:10:02,452 --> 00:10:03,533 involved. 101 00:10:04,394 --> 00:10:11,863 And yes, 500 monks along with the 80 great disciples got involved spinning out thread to sew with. 102 00:10:11,883 --> 00:10:19,413 They actually had to take old robes, I guess, or take some kind of cotton resources to make thread out of. 103 00:10:21,655 --> 00:10:23,177 And the Buddha threaded the needle. 104 00:10:24,299 --> 00:10:28,704 Mahamoggalana went and got supplies for them because he had magical powers. 105 00:10:29,044 --> 00:10:30,346 Anyway, this is the story. 106 00:10:30,366 --> 00:10:31,227 It was a big to-do. 107 00:10:32,506 --> 00:10:47,055 Everyone got involved with making this set of robes up for Anuruddha, which is an incredible image of this harmony and cooperation with all these enlightened beings. 108 00:10:49,465 --> 00:10:54,492 And the ex-wife angel went off into the city and got everyone to bring food. 109 00:10:55,934 --> 00:11:02,402 I was thinking, oh, there's all these monks, and they have to stay together, and they have to be busy making the robes. 110 00:11:02,462 --> 00:11:05,366 So it would be good if everyone were to come. 111 00:11:05,426 --> 00:11:11,254 So she went in disguised as a human being and got everyone to bring alms to the monastery. 112 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:25,298 But the point of this story and how it relates to our verse is that a problem arose in that there was too much food, which is often what happens with these big celebrations, even in modern times. 113 00:11:25,979 --> 00:11:30,347 People get so excited that they bring lots and lots of food and they really want to do good deeds. 114 00:11:30,407 --> 00:11:31,429 And so it's a great thing. 115 00:11:32,791 --> 00:11:36,437 But then what inevitably happens is someone complains. 116 00:11:37,098 --> 00:11:38,220 And that's what happened here. 117 00:11:39,719 --> 00:11:45,586 turns out there was a great heap of food remaining over after everybody had eaten. 118 00:11:45,626 --> 00:12:01,764 There was just, even with 500 monks and 580 monks, just too much food, because everyone was so keen to help, hearing that this, what a great opportunity to help this auspicious occasion. 119 00:12:01,804 --> 00:12:09,473 I mean, maybe it doesn't sound that auspicious, but it's a big deal when a monk gets a new robe and really your clothing and enlightened being and so on, you know. 120 00:12:09,453 --> 00:12:11,096 Not just any monk. 121 00:12:11,156 --> 00:12:11,878 It's Anuruddha. 122 00:12:11,898 --> 00:12:14,423 He was one of the 80 great disciples of the Buddha. 123 00:12:17,709 --> 00:12:20,014 And so there was all this food that was just rotten. 124 00:12:20,034 --> 00:12:21,978 It just went bad. 125 00:12:22,018 --> 00:12:25,665 And some monks got offended. 126 00:12:25,726 --> 00:12:28,491 And they... 127 00:12:28,977 --> 00:12:31,961 looked at it and they thought, you know, this must be Anuruddha's doing. 128 00:12:32,522 --> 00:12:40,994 And they say he must have gone to his kinsmen and told them, hey, bring some food, bring so much food for everyone. 129 00:12:41,034 --> 00:12:52,690 And they said, you know, clearly he didn't think beforehand and he wasted all this food and kind of took advantage of people's goodwill. 130 00:12:55,471 --> 00:13:02,580 It's amazing how people, it's the same as yesterday, they get so involved with other people's affairs and want to criticize and attack them. 131 00:13:05,124 --> 00:13:09,429 And then, so the teacher found out about it and he called them over and asked them, what are you guys talking about? 132 00:13:09,529 --> 00:13:14,496 And they told him and he said, look, do you have any evidence that Anuruddha did it? 133 00:13:14,596 --> 00:13:15,337 And they said, yes. 134 00:13:15,637 --> 00:13:16,939 They actually said, yes, we do. 135 00:13:22,184 --> 00:13:24,228 He said, do you not think that it was brought? 136 00:13:25,371 --> 00:13:28,357 He said, do you really think that Anuruddha ordered this? 137 00:13:28,397 --> 00:13:29,941 And they said, yes, of course we think that. 138 00:13:30,923 --> 00:13:34,270 And the Buddha scolded them and said, there's no way Anuruddha could do that. 139 00:13:35,667 --> 00:13:37,811 There's no way Anuruddha would be so attached. 140 00:13:38,833 --> 00:13:42,160 And I guess the implication is that he has some attachment to food. 141 00:13:43,101 --> 00:13:44,043 So he was greedy. 142 00:13:45,165 --> 00:13:50,135 He wanted special food for all the monks or he wanted special food for himself. 143 00:13:51,057 --> 00:13:53,121 And he didn't understand what was enough. 144 00:13:53,802 --> 00:13:56,427 He didn't know what was enough food. 145 00:13:56,407 --> 00:14:01,572 And his greed overtook him, obviously, because there's no way he could have miscalculated. 146 00:14:02,072 --> 00:14:06,256 He must have just gotten so greedy that he wanted extra food. 147 00:14:06,296 --> 00:14:08,438 But the truth is he had nothing to do with it. 148 00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:12,983 It was the lay people who were just overzealous, and this angel who went out of her way. 149 00:14:13,043 --> 00:14:17,247 He didn't even ask, of course, this angel to go and tell people to bring alms. 150 00:14:17,267 --> 00:14:20,030 Probably would have had everyone go out and get alms themselves. 151 00:14:20,810 --> 00:14:24,654 But when the food came, so they ate what they could, and the rest, well, you can't blame them. 152 00:14:24,694 --> 00:14:25,755 They didn't ask for it. 153 00:14:31,321 --> 00:14:33,184 So then the Buddha taught this verse. 154 00:14:33,204 --> 00:14:34,827 He said it couldn't have been. 155 00:14:34,867 --> 00:14:36,791 Anuruddha would never have thought such a thing. 156 00:14:37,011 --> 00:14:39,355 He had no such greed, no such attachment. 157 00:14:40,718 --> 00:14:43,803 And the implication is that he has rid himself of the asavas. 158 00:14:44,605 --> 00:14:47,550 He is independent in regards to food. 159 00:14:48,532 --> 00:14:52,519 He dwells in selflessness and signlessness. 160 00:14:53,849 --> 00:15:03,106 And as a result, and this is an interesting, it's interesting how it relates here because it says which means his track. 161 00:15:04,408 --> 00:15:08,756 And here it's interesting because this could refer to his state of mind. 162 00:15:09,076 --> 00:15:13,144 So these people are trying to think, you know, Anuruddha was like this, Anuruddha is thinking this. 163 00:15:13,925 --> 00:15:15,889 This is what Anuruddha is like. 164 00:15:15,989 --> 00:15:18,253 And he said, you guys have no clue. 165 00:15:18,233 --> 00:15:22,238 We are not able to tell Anuruddha's train of thought. 166 00:15:22,879 --> 00:15:23,840 This is the padang. 167 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,543 Padang means his track. 168 00:15:26,563 --> 00:15:34,613 Just as you couldn't, if you looked at a bird, if you looked at the sky where a bird had traveled, you wouldn't see which way the bird went. 169 00:15:34,993 --> 00:15:38,257 In the same way, you don't know which way Anuruddha is going in his mind. 170 00:15:38,878 --> 00:15:40,180 You can't know Anuruddha's mind. 171 00:15:40,260 --> 00:15:41,061 It's very difficult. 172 00:15:42,382 --> 00:15:47,228 And you people who are set upon criticism, how could you know? 173 00:15:48,710 --> 00:15:51,374 He doesn't say that because he's not being critical of them. 174 00:15:51,394 --> 00:15:55,861 He's just chastising them and saying, how could you say that about my son? 175 00:15:55,901 --> 00:16:07,820 The Buddha would use the word my son for monks who were enlightened monks because it wasn't dependent on how long they'd been a monk or so on. 176 00:16:09,022 --> 00:16:12,868 He considered that anyone who became enlightened was his son through his teaching. 177 00:16:13,510 --> 00:16:15,713 If they became enlightened, he would call them his son. 178 00:16:15,693 --> 00:16:18,249 So we call that Mamaputta. 179 00:16:19,577 --> 00:16:21,771 Mamaputta, my son. 180 00:16:23,590 --> 00:16:25,353 So the verse is quite similar to yesterday. 181 00:16:25,393 --> 00:16:27,036 There's not that much more to talk about. 182 00:16:27,056 --> 00:16:34,229 We've talked about food, not being dependent on food, which is in the sense of being able to even go without it. 183 00:16:34,289 --> 00:16:37,195 If no food comes, you sometimes won't eat, and that happens. 184 00:16:37,936 --> 00:16:41,162 It may have been they would just decide, well, we're too busy, we won't even go and get food. 185 00:16:42,103 --> 00:16:43,706 So today we'll just all go without food. 186 00:16:44,848 --> 00:16:45,750 They might even do that. 187 00:16:47,654 --> 00:16:48,195 They might not. 188 00:16:48,936 --> 00:16:57,831 But as it often happens, there's no need because lay people are in touch with the monks and when they find out and everybody wants to get involved, they think, oh, well, we'll bring food to the monastery. 189 00:16:57,931 --> 00:16:59,434 We've got, we can do that. 190 00:16:59,574 --> 00:17:00,756 We can support in that way. 191 00:17:02,079 --> 00:17:02,980 And they would do that. 192 00:17:06,098 --> 00:17:08,442 But we have the first part that's a little bit different, right? 193 00:17:09,383 --> 00:17:10,865 I guess it's not that much different. 194 00:17:10,885 --> 00:17:11,747 What was the first one? 195 00:17:12,588 --> 00:17:16,734 It was... who has no hoarding. 196 00:17:16,754 --> 00:17:17,616 So yeah, it's quite different. 197 00:17:17,636 --> 00:17:22,403 This one is talking about one who has rid oneself of the 198 00:17:22,383 --> 00:17:23,905 Asawa is an interesting word. 199 00:17:23,985 --> 00:17:27,369 It has to do with the sawana stream. 200 00:17:28,250 --> 00:17:31,353 So asawa is like the outpourings. 201 00:17:32,214 --> 00:17:35,658 Our mind is contained, but it leaks. 202 00:17:35,678 --> 00:17:37,900 So asawa could be translated as the leaks. 203 00:17:38,821 --> 00:17:40,103 How our mind leaks out. 204 00:17:40,924 --> 00:17:43,166 It leaks out because it's not contained. 205 00:17:43,527 --> 00:17:44,708 Our mind is not stable. 206 00:17:45,569 --> 00:17:48,492 Our mind is not stable. 207 00:17:48,472 --> 00:18:07,240 calm so it's like there's an overflowing there's a rippling of waves and and as there's a outpouring this is it's kind of a symbolic way or a metaphoric way of talking about the defilements 208 00:18:08,333 --> 00:18:12,239 or it's an idiomatic usage of the word. 209 00:18:12,259 --> 00:18:22,253 Asava, used by the Buddha, refers to, you know, the meaning is that, as I said, that defilements are an outflowing. 210 00:18:22,614 --> 00:18:24,897 And when you cut those off, your mind is contained. 211 00:18:25,237 --> 00:18:26,299 That's the implication. 212 00:18:26,339 --> 00:18:27,681 So it means defilements. 213 00:18:29,523 --> 00:18:35,472 And by defilements, of course, we mean anything based on greed, based on anger, or based on delusions. 214 00:18:37,477 --> 00:18:39,080 So again, it's similar to last week. 215 00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:40,842 I'm not sure too much to say. 216 00:18:40,903 --> 00:18:53,443 This is obviously the sort of thing that, except that I've realized that the grammar wasn't exact what I was saying yesterday, how I thought that one who doesn't rely upon food is as a result 217 00:18:54,453 --> 00:18:57,436 set in the two kinds of liberation. 218 00:18:57,536 --> 00:19:22,618 It's more like not only do you have to be free from, or in addition to being free from reliance or dependence on food, such a person who on top of that is also, or maybe you could say in line with that, is also dedicated to the two kinds of liberation. 219 00:19:22,678 --> 00:19:24,460 Liberation through 220 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:30,911 emptiness and liberation through signlessness, which means they see non-self. 221 00:19:31,672 --> 00:19:44,254 When they see non-self, that adds to the likelihood that they're not going to cling to food, the idea that I want to feed my body or worry about or concern about the body. 222 00:19:44,234 --> 00:19:51,687 When they see impermanence, they will not be worried about or concerned about change. 223 00:19:51,988 --> 00:19:54,673 Not getting food won't bother them. 224 00:19:55,514 --> 00:20:02,206 The pain or the hunger of going without food isn't a deal because they're comfortable with experience as it is. 225 00:20:02,527 --> 00:20:03,649 Change doesn't bother them. 226 00:20:04,350 --> 00:20:07,255 They're not dependent on one condition. 227 00:20:10,053 --> 00:20:12,355 So in our meditation we're going for a lot of these things. 228 00:20:12,375 --> 00:20:21,485 Someone asked me today about how you give up your dependence on food and really it's like all other questions, the answer is still meditation. 229 00:20:22,486 --> 00:20:39,823 When you understand, rather than trying to control, rather than trying to force yourself or feel guilty about or get angry at yourself when you want to eat junk food or when you want to eat too much or that kind of thing, 230 00:20:39,803 --> 00:21:08,140 you have to change to study it if it's wrong well then i should know it's wrong if i really knew that it was wrong then i wouldn't for any reason indulge in it so we have to study it means that we don't know enough yet we're not clear in our minds enough so we still like and want when you study then you see sunyata and you see animita sunyata means it's not it's void of any substance it's not really 231 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:10,084 a substantial happiness. 232 00:21:10,965 --> 00:21:13,149 Animitta means it's not a stable happiness. 233 00:21:13,951 --> 00:21:17,497 It can change without sign, without signal or warning. 234 00:21:20,282 --> 00:21:23,548 When you see these things, then you give up your attachment. 235 00:21:23,568 --> 00:21:27,515 You'll see, well, really it is bad, useless, harmful. 236 00:21:28,196 --> 00:21:30,280 And then you stop, just naturally. 237 00:21:33,230 --> 00:21:35,064 So that's the Dhammapada for today. 238 00:21:35,085 --> 00:21:36,798 I think we'll stop there. 239 00:21:36,838 --> 00:21:37,806 Thank you for tuning in. 240 00:21:39,197 --> 00:21:41,434 Keep practicing and be well.
