“Mendicants, give up what’s not yours.
Giving it up will be for your welfare and happiness.
And what isn’t yours?
Sights aren’t yours: give them up.
Giving them up will be for your welfare and happiness.
Sounds,
smells,
tastes,
touches,
and ideas aren’t yours: give them up.
Giving them up will be for your welfare and happiness.
Suppose a person was to carry off the grass, sticks, branches, and leaves in this Jeta’s Grove …
In the same way, sights, sounds, smells, tastes, touches, and ideas aren’t yours: give them up.
Giving them up will be for your welfare and happiness.”
