(37) Mātari - On Account of Mother
1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.
2. The Blessed One addressed the monks from there. “Monks, gain, honor, and fame are severe and cruel and it's a danger for him who wants to end unpleasantness.
3. “Monks, penetrating the mind of a certain person I know, `This venerable one would not tell a lie with awareness even for the sake of his mother.' In the meantime I see him telling lies with awareness with a mind overcome and consumed by gain, honor, and fame.
4. “Monks, gain, honor, and fame are severe and cruel and a danger for him who wants to end unpleasantness.
5. “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.'
6. “Monks, you should train in this manner.”
