Rejecting the Baits of the World
375. And this is the beginning here for a wise Bhikshu: watchfulness over the senses, contentedness, restraint under the law; keep noble friends whose life is pure, and who are not slothful.
376. Let him live in charity, let him be perfect in his duties; then in the fulness of delight he will make an end of suffering.
377. As the Vassika plant sheds its withered flowers, men should shed passion and hatred, O ye Bhikshus!
378. The Bhikshu whose body and tongue and mind are quieted, who is collected, and has rejected the baits of the world, he is called quiet.
