The Grouped Discourses
Samyutta Nikaya II.69
Iccha Sutta
Desire
Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
[A deva:]
With what is the world tied down?
With the subduing
of what is it freed?
With the abandoning
of what are all bonds
cut through?
[The Buddha:]
With desire the world is tied down.
With the subduing
of desire it's freed.
With the abandoning
of desire all bonds
are cut through.
