## The Sutra Kritanga Sutra
### Commentary
This commentary explains that a person attached to possessions inevitably engages in actions that lead to violence. The text states:
"If, in another way, the person bound by possessions is not satisfied, and desires more, and is driven by the desire to acquire more, and is the cause of trouble, then he himself destroys the life of a living being through his mind, speech, and body, or through his life force, strength, and body. The word 'tiwayae' is actually 'atiwayae', meaning to destroy life excessively."
The commentary further explains that a person attached to possessions not only harms others directly but also encourages others to do so. By engaging in violence, supporting violence, and encouraging violence, such a person creates a cycle of hatred that binds them to suffering for countless lifetimes. The commentary concludes by stating that other forms of harmful actions, such as lying, are also causes of bondage.
The text then quotes a verse:
"In a family where a person is born, or where they live, a child is born, and they faint in the presence of others."
This verse highlights the suffering that arises from attachment to possessions and the consequences of violence.
