Taking Pleasure (Interior)

“Mendicants, if you take pleasure in the eye, you take pleasure in suffering.

If you take pleasure in suffering, you’re not free from suffering, I say.

If you take pleasure in the ear …

nose …

tongue …

body …

mind, you take pleasure in suffering.

If you take pleasure in suffering, you’re not free from suffering, I say.

If you don’t take pleasure in the eye, you don’t take pleasure in suffering.

If you don’t take pleasure in suffering, you’re free from suffering, I say.

If you don’t take pleasure in the ear …

nose …

tongue …

body …

mind, you don’t take pleasure in suffering.

If you don’t take pleasure in suffering, you’re free from suffering, I say.”
