Patheyya Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna


 * "What are the provisions for the journey?
 * What is the home of enjoyments?
 * What carries away humans?
 * In the world what is difficult to give up?
 * The populace bound by what, is bound like a bird by a decoy?"


 * "Faith is the provisions for the journey.
 * Beauty is the home, of wealth.
 * Desires carry away humans and it's difficult to give up desires
 * Desires bind the populace like a bird bound by a decoy."
