101.3. Gratification, Danger, and Escape - II

AN 3:101.3 Gratification, Danger, and Escape - II

Translated from the Pali by Nyanaponika Thera and Bhikkhu Bodhi

I went in search of the gratification in the world, O monks. Whatever gratification there is in the world, that I have found; and in how far there is gratification in the world, that I have clearly seen by wisdom.

I went in search of the danger in the world. Whatever danger there is in the world, that I have found; and in how far there is danger in the world, that I have clearly seen by wisdom.

I went in search of an escape from the world. That escape from the world I have found; and in how far there is an escape from the world, that I have clearly seen by wisdom.
