1.119 Vajjiputta#
Coming to the bower
at the root of a tree,
placing
unbinding
in your heart,
do jhāna, Gotama,
& don’t be heedless.
What use is this
chitter-chatter
to you?1
Notes#
In SN 9:5, a deva addresses this verse to Ven. Ānanda, who has been spending too much time teaching Dhamma to laypeople. ↩︎
