SN 1.24 Shielding the Mind – Manonivāraṇasutta

 

“Whatever you’ve shielded the mind from

“Yato yato mano nivāraye,

can’t cause you suffering.

Na dukkhameti naṁ tato tato;

So you should shield the mind from everything,

Sa sabbato mano nivāraye,

then you’re freed from all suffering.”

Sa sabbato dukkhā pamuccatī”ti.

“You needn’t shield the mind from everything.

“Na sabbato mano nivāraye,

When the mind is under control,

Na mano saṁyatattamāgataṁ;

you need only shield the mind

Yato yato ca pāpakaṁ,

from where the bad things come.”

Tato tato mano nivāraye”ti.
