The Discourse to Siṅgāla
233.
He was dwelling at Sāvatthī, etc.
"Did you hear, monks, towards the break of dawn, an old jackal howling?"
"Yes, venerable sir."
"That, monks, is an old jackal afflicted by a type of disease called mange.
Wherever he wishes, there he goes;
wherever he wishes, there he stands;
wherever he wishes, there he sits down;
wherever he wishes, there he lies down;
a cool wind blows upon him.
It would be good indeed, monks, if here a certain one claiming to be a disciple of the Sakyan would experience even such an acquisition of individual existence.
Therefore, monks, you should train thus -
'We will dwell diligent.'
Thus indeed, monks, should you train."
The eleventh.
