being free of obsessions they wear their last body. They still might use words such as 'I', they still might use words such as 'mine'.” Whichever Mendicant who has done their duty and become an Arahant, being free of obsessions they wear their last body. they still might use words such as 'I', they still might use words such as 'mine'. Because they know the skilled use of conventions, using such conceited expressions in moderation.” Whichever Mendicant who has done their duty and become an Arahant, being free of obsessions they wear their last body. When conceited they go to a mendicant, they still might use words such as 'I', they still might use words such as 'mine'.” The bonds are eliminated for one who does not compare, all the ties of conceit are destroyed. The wise overcome opinions, they still might use words such as 'I'. “They still might use words such as 'mine'. Because they know the skilled use of conventions. They use such conceited expressions in moderation.” |
