A Translation As It Is

EA 11.6 Heart (2) / English

0:00

Thus I have heard:

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

Then the Bhagavaan addressed the bhikkhus:

“Bhikkhus, I do not perceive even one other thing that is so easily tamed, so readily trained, and that brings such blessings as the mind.

O bhikshus! This mind is easily tamed, readily trained, and brings great blessings.

Therefore, bhikkhus, you should train yourselves thus: ‘We will discern the mind and cultivate wholesome roots.'”

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