Satti sutta: A Sword

Sattisutta

Sattivagga

A mendicant should live as if their head was on fire.

At Sāvatthī.

Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

“Like they’re struck by a sword,
like their head was on fire,

a mendicant, mindful, should go forth,

to give up sensual desire.”

“Like they’re struck by a sword,
like their head was on fire,

a mendicant, mindful, should go forth,

to give up substantialist view.”
