Pajjoto Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna


 * "What is the light, in the world?
 * What is wakefulness, in the world?
 * Who, lives in their actions?
 * And what is their deportment?
 * Who provides the lazy and the not lazy, like a mother providing her son?
 * What maintains the lives of the born, establishing them on earth?"


 * "Wisdom is the light in the world.
 * Mindfulness is wakefulness
 * Cattle live in their actions clinging to their movement
 * Rain provides the lazy and the not lazy, like a mother providing her son.
 * Rain maintains the lives of the born, establishing them on earth."
