Mahaddhana Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna

"Even the wealthy, resourceful worriers; landowners,

Become greedy for each others wealth, not caring for sensuality

Make endeavor following the desire `to be'.

Some give up greed and craving, don't make endeavor in this world?"

"Giving up home, becoming ascetic, give up, sons and herds.

They dispel greed, hate and delusion and destroy desires.

Become worthy, do not make endeavor in the world.
