The Finest Lady in the Land

Kalyāṇīsutta

from: Chapter Three

The Finest Lady in the Land

At Sāvatthī.

“Possessions, honor, and popularity are grim …

Even if you’re alone with the finest lady in the land she might not occupy your mind, but possessions, honor and popularity would still occupy your mind.

So grim are possessions, honor, and popularity. …”
