For a person
forced on by his thinking,
fierce in his passion,
focused on beauty,
craving grows all the more.
He’s the one
who tightens the bond.
But one who delights
in the stilling of thinking,
always
mindful
cultivating
a focus on the foul:
He’s the one
who will make an end,
the one who will cut Mara’s bond.

Arrived at the finish,
unfrightened, unblemished, free
of craving, he has cut away
the arrows of becoming.
This physical heap is his last.
Free from craving,
ungrasping,
astute in expression,
knowing the combination of sounds–
which comes first & which after.
He’s called a
last-body
greatly discerning
great man.

All-conquering,
all-knowing am I,
with regard to all things,
unadhering.
All-abandoning,
released in the ending of craving:
having fully known on my own,
to whom should I point as my teacher?

Riches ruin the man
weak in discernment,
but not those who seek
the beyond.
Through craving for riches
the man weak in discernment
ruins himself
as he would others.

free of passion
bears great fruit.

Restraint with the eye is good,
good is restraint with the ear.
Restraint with the nose is good,
good is restraint with the tongue.
Restraint with the body is good,
good is restraint with speech.
Restraint with the heart is good,
good is restraint everywhere.
A monk everywhere restrained
is released from all suffering & stress.

Essential Themes of Buddhist Lectures
by Sayadaw U Thittila
The contents that follow in this small publication comprise a collection of expanded notes prepared for unconnected individual talks on Buddhism given in the West by the author over the period 1938– 1983. They are not, therefore, subject matter necessarily for consecutive reading.
To give the differing teaching material and information surrounding the main themes, repetition of phraseology in respect of the themes themselves is an unavoidable feature; thus each short article is here reproduced as originally conceived and without regard to any repetition.
