  Speaker 1: Chapter twenty five. The Bictuu mendicant. Restraint in the eye
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: is good. Good is restraint in the ear. In the nose,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: restraint is good. Good is restraint in the tongue. In
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the body, restraint is good. Good is restraint in speech.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: In thought, restraint is good. Good is restraint in all things.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: A bictuu restrained in all things, is freed from pain.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: He who controls his hand, he who controls his feet,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: He who controls his speech, He who is well controlled,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: He who delights inwardly, who is collected, who is solitary
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and content. They call bikshu. The bikshu who controls his mouth,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: who speaks wisely and calmly, who teaches the meaning and
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the law. His word is sweet. He who dwells in
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the law, delights in the law, meditates on the law,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: follows the law. That bicshu will never fall away from
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the true law. Let him not despise what he has received,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: nor ever envy others. A mendicant who envies others does
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: not obtain peace of mind. A bikshu, who though he
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: receives little, does not despise what he has received. Even
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: the gods will praise him if his life is pure,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: and if he is not slothful. He who never identifies
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: himself with name and form, and does not grieve over
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: what is no more, he indeed is called a bikshu.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: The bikshu who acts with kindness, who is calm in
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the doctrine of Buddha, will reach the quiet place Nirvana,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: cessation of natural desires and happiness. Oh bikshu, empty this boat,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: if emptied, it will go quickly. Having cut off passion
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and hatred, Thou wilt go to Nirvana. Cut off the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: five senses, leave the five, rise above the five. A
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: bikshu who has escaped from the five fetters. He is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: called Ogatina. Saved from the blood. Meditate obictuu and be
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: not heedless. Do not direct thy thought to what gives pleasure,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that thou mayest not for thy heedlessness, have to swallow
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the iron ball in hell, and that thou mayest not
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: cry out when burning. This is pain without knowledge. There
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is no meditation. Without meditation, there is no knowledge. He
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: who has knowledge and meditation is near, and who nirv honor.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: A bikshu who has entered his empty house and whose
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: mind is tranquil, feels a more than human delight. When
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: he sees the law clearly. As soon as he has
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: considered the origin and destruction of the elle laments, conder
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: of the body, he finds happiness and joy, which belong
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: to those who know the immortal nirvana. And this is
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the beginning here for a wise bicture. Watchfulness over the senses, contentedness,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: restraint under the law, Keep noble friends whose life is
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: pure and who are not slothful. Let him live in charity,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Let him be perfect in his duties. Then in the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: fullness of delight, he will make an end of suffering.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: As the varsickly plant sheds its withered flowers, men should
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: shed passion and hatred. O ye bictuus, the bictu whose
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: body and tongue and mind are quieted, who is collected
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and has rejected the bates of the world, he is
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: called quiet. Rouse thyself by thyself, Examine thyself by thyself. Thus,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: self protected and attentive, wilt thou live happily Obicuu, for
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: self is the lord of self. Self is the refuge
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: of self. Therefore, curb thyself as the merchant curbs a
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: good horse. The bikshu full of delight, who is calm
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in the doctrine of Buddha will reach the quiet place Nirvana,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: cessation of natural desires and happiness. He who, even as
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: a young Biicuu, applies himself to the doctrine of Buddha,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: brightens up this world like the moon when free from clouds.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: End of Chapter twenty five.
