The Second Discourse on Lust
69.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"For whoever, monks, whether monk or nun, lust has not been abandoned, hate has not been abandoned, delusion has not been abandoned - this one is called, monks, one who has not 'crossed the ocean with its waves, with its billows, with its whirlpools, with its ferocious creatures, with its demons'. For whoever, monks, whether monk or nun, lust has been abandoned, hate has been abandoned, delusion has been abandoned - this one is called, monks, one who has 'crossed the ocean with its waves, with its billows, with its whirlpools, with its ferocious creatures, with its demons, one who has crossed over, gone beyond, the brahmin stands on dry ground'." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
He has crossed over this ocean with its ferocious creatures, with its demons, with its fearful waves, difficult to cross.
He has passed away, he does not come to be measured, he has deluded the King of Death, I say."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The tenth.
