Maanakaamo Sutta: Vain Conceits

Maanakaamo Sutta

Summary:

SN 1.9 PTS: S i 4 CDB i 93

Maanakaamo Sutta: Vain Conceits

translated from the Pali by

Maurice O'Connell Walshe

The Pali title of this sutta is based on the PTS (Feer) edition.

…the deva spoke this verse…:

Who has not tamed all vain conceits,(1) Who lacks in wisdom, uncontrolled, Heedless, in the woods may dwell alone, Yet will not escape the realm of death. [The Blessed One replied:] Who, concentrated, leaves conceits behind, His heart and mind(2) set fair, and wholly freed, Heedful dwelling in the woods alone, Shall indeed escape the realm of death.(3)

Notes

1.

Maanakaama: “conceit and lust.”

2.

Citta: “mind,” but often like the metaphorical use of “heart” in English.

3.

He will pass “beyond death” to Nibbaana.
