2. The Garden of Delight
Delight
1 At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
2 “Children bring you delight!
Cattle also bring you delight!
For attachments are a man’s delight;
without attachments there’s no delight.”
3 “Children bring you sorrow.
Cattle also bring you sorrow.
For attachments are a man’s sorrow;
without attachments there are no sorrows.”
