A Tangle

“Tangled within, tangled without: these people are tangled in tangles. I ask you this, Gotama: who can untangle this tangle?”

2
English · Bhikkhu Sujato

“A wise person grounded in ethics, developing the mind and wisdom, a keen and alert mendicant— they can untangle this tangle.

3
English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Those in whom greed, hate, and ignorance have faded away; the perfected ones with defilements ended— they have untangled the tangle.

4
English · Bhikkhu Sujato

And where name and form cease with no residue left behind; and impingement and perception of form: it’s here this tangle is cut.”
