Personal Ties
“Cattārome, bhikkhave, ganthā.
“Mendicants, there are these four ties.
Katame cattāro?
What four?
Abhijjhā kāyagantho, byāpādo kāyagantho, sīlabbataparāmāso kāyagantho, idaṁsaccābhiniveso kāyagantho—
The personal ties to covetousness, ill will, misapprehension of precepts and observances, and the insistence that this is the only truth.
ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro ganthā.
These are the four ties.
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ ganthānaṁ abhiññāya pariññāya parikkhayāya pahānāya …pe… ayaṁ ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo bhāvetabbo”ti.
The noble eightfold path should be developed for the direct knowledge, complete understanding, finishing, and giving up of these four ties.”
Catutthaṁ.
