Bhita Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna


 * "Why is the populace frightened in various ways?
 * As though disordered by the various faculties?
 * I ask wise Gotama,
 * Established how is someone not afraid of the next birth?"


 * "With words and mind intending good,
 * Not doing evil, with the body
 * A householder who has eatables and drinks to share
 * Should politely and bountifully give them to others
 * Established in these four things,
 * He would have no fear about the next birth."
