25: The Chapter about Monastics – 307<br />

No fondness for mind or body<br />

A brahmin became well known for giving of the first fruits of<br />

the harvest before he would take his own food; one day as he<br />

was taking his meal the Buddha appeared at the door, and the<br />

brahmin offered him the remainder of his meal and asked him<br />

to teach what were the characteristics of a true monk.<br />

367. Sabbaso nāmarūpasmiṁ yassa natthi mamāyitaṁ,<br />

asatā ca na socati, sa ve bhikkhū ti vuccati.<br />

The one who does not have fondness<br />

at all for mind and body, who<br />

grieves not for what does not exist,<br />

is surely called a monastic.
