Vāsudatta sutta: With Vāsudatta

Vāsudattasutta

Anāthapiṇḍikavagga

The deity Vasudatta says that a mendicant should live like their hair is on fire so as to give up lust. The Buddha changes his verse to emphasize giving up attachment to self.

Standing to one side, the godling Vāsudatta spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

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

a mendicant should wander mindful,

to give up sensual desire.”

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

a mendicant should wander mindful,

to give up substantialist view.”
