2.5 The Lay Follower
Àç°¡ ½Åµµ
Thus have I heard. At one time the Lord was staying near Savatthi in the Jeta Wood at Anathapindika's monastery. On that occasion a certain lay follower from Icchanangala had arrived at Savatthi on some business or other. Then, when that business in Savatthi had been completed, the lay follower approached the Lord, prostrated himself, and sat down to one side. As he was sitting there the Lord said to that lay follower: ¡°At last, lay follower, you have found an opportunity to come here."
¡°For a long time, revered sir, I have wanted to come and see the Lord, but being involved with various affairs of business that had to be done I was just not able to come personally and see the Lord.¡±
Then, on realizing its significance, the Lord uttered on that occasion this inspired utterance:

Blissful indeed is it to own nothing
When one is learned and has mastered the Dhamma.
See how people who own things are afflicted,
For people are strongly bound to people.
