WHAT'S THAT WHICH CAUSES THE PAIN -

BUDDHIST WISDOM

Cut through five,
let go of five,
& develop five about all.
A monk gone past five attachments
is said to have crossed the flood.

Practice jhana, monk,
and don't be heedless.
Don't take your mind roaming
in sensual strands.
Don't swallow--heedless--
the ball of iron aflame.
Don't burn & complain: 'This is pain.'
