Theravada (Pali Canon)<\/h2>\n\n
On one occasion a certain monk was seated not far from the Buddha in
cross-legged posture, holding his body upright, enduring pain that was the
fruit born of former action, pain racking, sharp, and bitter; but he was
mindful, composed, and uncomplaining.\u00a0 Seeing the monk so seated and so
employed, the Buddha gave this utterance:<\/p>\n\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For the monk who has left behind all karma,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And shaken off the dust aforetime gathered,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Who stands fast without thought of “I” or “mine”–
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 For such there is no need to talk to people.<\/p>\n\n

menal distinctions and awaken the thought of the Consummation of Incompar-
able Enlightenment by not allowing the mind to depend upon notions evoked
by the sensible world–by not allowing the mind to depend upon notions
evoked by sounds, odors, flavors, touch-contacts, or any qualities.\u00a0 The
mind should be kept independent of any thoughts which arise within it.\u00a0 If
the mind depends upon anything it has no sure haven.<\/p>\n\n
