A Bhikkhu

Khīṇāsava­bhikkhu (SN 17.30)

1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there:

2. “Monks, even to a monk who is worthy, has destroyed desires I say, gain, honor, and fame are dangerous.”

3. When this was said venerable Ānanda said to the Blessed One: “Venerable sir, how could gain, honor, and fame be a danger to a monk who has destroyed desires?”

4. “Ānanda, if the mind is unshakably released, I do not say that there is danger to him from gain, honor and fame.

5. “Ānanda, if the monk abides diligent and zealous to dispel, abiding pleasantly here and now I say, there is danger to him from gain, honor and fame.

6. “Monks, gain, honor, and fame are severe and cruel and a danger for him who wants to end unpleasantness.

7. “Therefore monks, you should train thus: `We will get rid of arisen gain, honor and fame. Arisen gain, honor, and fame will not take control of our minds.' Monks, you should train in this manner.”
