Ud 6:6 Sectarians (3) (Tittha Sutta)

Ud 6:6 Sectarians (3) (Tittha Sutta) - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

People are intent on the idea of

‘I-making’

and attached to the idea of

‘other-making.’

Some don’t realize this,

nor do they see it as an arrow.

But to one who,

having extracted this arrow,

sees,

[the thought] ‘I am doing,’1 doesn’t occur;

‘Another is doing,’ doesn’t occur.

This human race is

possessed by conceit

bound by conceit,

tied down by conceit.

Speaking hurtfully because of their views

they don’t go beyond

the wandering-on.
