3. A Sword
Shielding the Mind
“Whatever you’ve shielded the mind from
can’t cause you suffering.
So you should shield the mind from everything,
then you’re freed from all suffering.”
“You need not shield the mind from everything,
nor has the mind gained self-control.
The mind need only be shielded
from where the bad things come.”

“Yato yato mano nivāraye,
Na dukkhameti naṁ tato tato;
Sa sabbato mano nivāraye,
Sa sabbato dukkhā pamuccatī”ti.
“Na sabbato mano nivāraye,
Na mano saṁyatattamāgataṁ;
Yato yato ca pāpakaṁ,
Tato tato mano nivāraye”ti.

Protéger l’esprit
« Tout ce dont tu as protégé l’esprit
ne peut te causer de souffrance.
Tu devrais donc protéger l’esprit de toute chose,
et tu seras libéré de toute souffrance. »
« Il n’est pas nécessaire de protéger l’esprit de toute chose,
et l’esprit n’a pas non plus acquis la maîtrise de soi.
Il suffit de protéger l’esprit
de ce dont proviennent les mauvaises choses. »
