Buddha Vacana - Sacred Literature of the Buddha
Verse 49 for 18 February, 2025
49. One remembers and turns over in the mind thoughts about things based on desire in the past, present and future. As one does so, desire is generated, and being desirous, one is fettered by those things. And a mind full of lust is what I call a fetter.
