ā€œSeyyathāpi, bhikkhave, kumbho anādhāro suppavattiyo hoti, sādhāro duppavattiyo hoti; ā€œA pot without a stand is easy to overturn, but if it has a stand itā€™s hard to overturn.

evameva kho, bhikkhave, cittaį¹ anādhāraį¹ suppavattiyaį¹ hoti, sādhāraį¹ duppavattiyaį¹ hoti. In the same way, a mind without a stand is easy to overturn, but if it has a stand itā€™s hard to overturn.

Ko ca, bhikkhave, cittassa ādhāro? And whatā€™s the stand for the mind?

Ayameva ariyo aį¹­į¹­haį¹…giko maggo, seyyathidaį¹ā€”It is simply this noble eightfold path, that is:

sammādiį¹­į¹­hi ā€¦peā€¦ sammāsamādhi. right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion.

Ayaį¹ cittassa ādhāro. This is the stand for the mind.

Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, kumbho anādhāro suppavattiyo hoti, sādhāro duppavattiyo hoti; A pot without a stand is easy to overturn, but if it has a stand itā€™s hard to overturn.

evameva kho, bhikkhave, cittaį¹ anādhāraį¹ suppavattiyaį¹ hoti, sādhāraį¹ duppavattiyaį¹ hotÄ«ā€ti. In the same way, a mind without a stand is easy to overturn, but if it has a stand itā€™s hard to overturn.ā€
