The Discourse on Fear

56.More DetailsCommentaries "'Fear', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures. 'Suffering', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures. 'Disease', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures. 'Boil', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures. 'Dart', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures. 'Attachment', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures. 'Mire', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures. 'Womb', monks, this is a designation for sensual pleasures. And why, monks, is 'fear' a designation for sensual pleasures? Because this one dyed with sensual lust, monks, bound by desire and lust, is not released from fear pertaining to the present life, nor is he released from fear pertaining to the future life; therefore 'fear' is a designation for sensual pleasures. And why, monks, is 'suffering'... etc. 'disease'... 'boil'... 'dart'... 'attachment'... 'mire'... 'womb' a designation for sensual pleasures? Because this one dyed with sensual lust, monks, bound by desire and lust, is not released from the womb pertaining to the present life, nor is he released from the womb pertaining to the future life; therefore 'womb' is a designation for sensual pleasures."

"Fear and suffering and disease, boil and dart and attachment;

Mire and womb - both, these are called sensual pleasures;

Where the worldling is attached.

"Overcome by the form of pleasure, one goes again to the womb;

But when a monk is ardent, he does not neglect full awareness.

"Having overcome this dangerous path, this difficult passage, such a one;

Looks upon this generation beset by birth and ageing, trembling." The sixth.
