Page 68. In rainy season recluses tread down the green grass, they crush the living thing that has one sense, they trample to death many a tiny life, I enjoin on you, brethren, that ye observe the retreat during the rains (Vin. Pit. Mahâvagga III. I.)

(11) “ The Doctrine of the Buddha" by George Grimm, P. 339. “Inflamed by desire, evil-disposed by hate, confused by delusion, overcome, entirely influenced internally, O Brahmin, we think of hurting ourselves, we think of hurting others, we think of hurting both ourselves and others, and feel mental pain and grief. But if we have abandoned desire, then we do not think any more of hurting ourselves, nor of hurting others, nor of hurting both ourselves and others, and we do not feel mental pain and grief. Thus, o Brahmin, Nibbâna is visible and present, inviting to come and see, leading to the goal, intelligible to the wise, each for himself.” (M. I. p. 303 A. III p. 55).
