Dhammapada, Chapter 24: samenvatting
Chapter 24 van 26 · 4 min om chapter te lezen
In Chapter 24, thirst for pleasure binds people to suffering and repeated birth, while knowledge and reflection help remove desire at its source. The verses contrast attachment with freedom, praise the teaching above other gifts, and describe great rewards for giving to people free from destructive passions.
