A Translation As It Is

EA 11.5 Heart / English

Thus I have heard:

One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.


At that time, the Bhagavaan addressed the bhikshus: “Among all things, I have never seen anything so difficult to be tamed, so hard to train, and bringing such suffering as the mind.

O bhikshus! This mind is hard to subdue, difficult to train, and brings much suffering.

Therefore, O bhikshus! You should carefully discern the mind, contemplate the mind, and cultivate wholesome roots. Thus, O bhikshus, should you train.”


When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
