SC 334The craving of the careless one grows like a creeper.
The craver jumps from existence to existence,
Like a monkey seeking fruit in the forest.

SC 335One who is conquered by this miserable craving,
This clinging in the world:
His sorrows grow like bīraṇa grass after rain.

SC 336But one who conquers this miserable craving,
So difficult to overcome in the world:
His sorrows fall away, like drops of water from a
lotus.

SC 337I say to you: Good fortune to all assembled here!
Uproot the root of craving,
As one would who desires the fragrant root of the
bīraṇa grass.
Let not Māra crush you, as a torrent crushes a reed,
Again and again and again.

SC 338Just as a tree cut down will grow again
When the root remains healthy and strong,
So this suffering arises again and again
When dormant craving is not destroyed.

SC 339The wrong-viewed person,
The one in whom the thirty-six streams of craving
flow mightily,
Is carried away by these currents,
These thoughts dependent on passion.

SC 340Streams flow everywhere.
The creeper, having sprung up, establishes itself.
Seeing that the creeper has emerged,
Use wisdom to cut it off at the root.

SC 341Delights, flowing along and filled with lust, arise in
people.
Surely, those intent on enjoyment, seeking pleasure,
Undergo birth and old age.

SC 342Encircled by craving,
People run around like ensnared hares.
Bound by the fetters of attachment.
They undergo long suffering again and again.

SC 343Encircled by craving,
People run around like ensnared hares.
Therefore, one who desires dispassion
Should dispel craving.

SC 344Who, for the sake of being free from the forest (of
craving), Is resolved upon the forest (of solitude), And then runs back to the forest (of craving); Come and see one freed who runs back into
bondage!

SC 345The fetter made of iron, of wood, or of babbaja grass,
Is not so strong, say the wise.
But infatuation with jewels and ornaments,
Or longing for sons and wives,

SC 346That is a strong bond, say the wise,
Loose, yet difficult to be freed from.
When the bond is cut, they go about,
Free from longing,
Having abandoned sensual pleasure.

SC 347Those excited by passion fall into the current,
As a spider caught in its self-made web.
Having cut off this passion, the wise set forth,
Free from longing,
Having abandoned all suffering.

SC 348Let go of the past, let go of the future, let go of the
present.
Gone to the other shore of existence,
With mind everywhere emancipated,
You will not again come to birth and old age.

SC 349For the one with disturbed thoughts and intense
passion,
Who is focused on pleasant things,
Craving only grows stronger.
Indeed, craving fortifies the fetter.

SC 350For the one devoted to calming thoughts, always
mindful,
Who meditates on what is foul:
That one will make an end and cut off Māra’s bond.

SC 351One who has attained perfection,
Who is pure, without craving or fear:
This one has destroyed the arrows of becoming;
His present body, the last.

SC 352One who is without craving, free of grasping,
Skilled in the scriptures, who would know their
arrangement;
Such a one is truly called great person;
Such a one possesses great wisdom;
Such a one is living his final life.

SC 353I know all; I overcome all.
Free of stain in all conditions,
Abandoning everything,
Emancipated by the dissolution of craving,
I have understood everything on my own.

SC 354The gift of Dhamma overwhelms all gifts.
The taste of Dhamma overwhelms all tastes.
The delight of Dhamma overwhelms all delights.
The dissolution of craving overwhelms all suffering.

SC 355Wealth wounds those lacking wisdom,
Not those seeking the other shore.
Craving wealth, those who lack wisdom
Destroy others, even as themselves.

SC 356Fields are ruined by weeds;
Humanity is ruined by passions.
But indeed what is given to those whose passions are
gone
Bears great fruit.

SC 357Fields are ruined by weeds;
Humanity is ruined by ill will.
But indeed what is given to those whose ill will is
gone
Bears great fruit.

SC 358Fields are ruined by weeds;
Humanity is ruined by delusion.
But indeed what is given to those whose delusion is
gone
Bears great fruit.

SC 359Fields are ruined by weeds;
Humanity is ruined by longing.
Truly, what is given to those whose longing is gone
Bears great fruit.
