The Ten Fetters of Buddhism
The Ten Fetters of Buddhism
"He, the Blessed One, is indeed the Noble Lord, the Perfectly Enlightened One;
He is impeccable in conduct and understanding, the Serene One, the Knower of the Worlds;
He trains perfectly those who wish to be trained; he is Teacher of gods and men; he is Awake and Holy. "
--------------------------------------------
"The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One,
Apparent here and now, timeless, encouraging investigation,
Leading to liberation, to be experienced individually by the wise. "

Re: The Ten Fetters of Buddhism
Greetings,
I wonder if that's connected to where the Buddha said he did not fight with the world, but the world fought with him.
Metta,

That's really interesting - thanks!5. Patigha, also vyapada, The literal meaning of this term is "to hit against," but it is often translated into English as "ill-will or hatred."
