Fetter

„Was fesselt die Welt?
Wie reist es umher?
Wenn man was aufgibt,
spricht man von Erlöschen?“

„Genießen fesselt die Welt.
Es reist umher mittels Gedanken.
Wenn man Verlangen aufgibt,
spricht man von Erlöschen.“

“What fetters the world?
How does it travel about?
With the giving up of what
is extinguishment spoken of?”

“Delight fetters the world.
It travels about by means of thought.
With the giving up of craving
extinguishment is spoken of.”

“Kiṁsu saṁyojano loko,
kiṁsu tassa vicāraṇaṁ;
Kissassu vippahānena,
nibbānaṁ iti vuccatī”ti.

“Nandīsaṁyojano loko,
vitakkassa vicāraṇaṁ;
Taṇhāya vippahānena,
nibbānaṁ iti vuccatī”ti.
