23: The Chapter about the Elephant – 277<br />

The best of training<br />

A monk who had previously been an elephant trainer saw a<br />

man struggling to train an elephant and successfully advised<br />

him on his task; when the Buddha heard about it he rebuked<br />

him and advised him on what really needs to be trained.<br />

323. Na hi etehi yānehi gaccheyya agataṁ disaṁ,<br />

yathattanā sudantena, danto dantena gacchati.<br />

Not by vehicles can one go<br />

to the place beyond destinations,<br />

as one through training himself well,<br />

being trained by the training, goes.
