So It Was Said 3

The Book of the Ones

Chapter One

Delusion

iti3:1 This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.

iti3:2 “Mendicants, give up one thing and I guarantee you non-return. What one thing? Delusion is the one thing. Give it up, and I guarantee you non-return.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:

iti3:3 “When overcome by delusion beings go to a bad place. Having rightly understood that delusion, the discerning give it up. Once they’ve given it up, they never return to this world.”

iti3:4 This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
