They play games on boards with eight squares, ten squares, and a hundred or a thousand squares, entertaining themselves in various ways. The ascetic Gautama doesn’t do such things.’ > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “‘There are other ascetics and priests who eat the faithful alms of others and just talk about pointless things that obstruct the path. \[They discuss\] subjects like kings, battles, warhorses, officials, ministers, riding chariots and horses, and enjoying themselves in parks. They have conversations while they lie down, rise, and walk about women’s affairs, clothing, food and drink, and relatives. They discuss the subject of finding treasures in the ocean, too. The ascetic Gautama doesn’t do such things.’ > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “‘There are other ascetics and priests who eat the faithful alms of others and just pursue wrong livelihoods. They flatter people with beautiful expressions or appear to criticize them, and they pursue profit with profit. The ascetic Gautama doesn’t do such things.’ > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “‘There are other ascetics and priests who eat the faithful alms of others and just argue with each other. Whether in parks, near ponds, or in halls, they blame each other: ‘I know the sūtras and discipline; you know nothing.’ ‘I’m on the correct path; you’re going down the wrong road.’ ‘Either you put what’s first last, or you put what’s last first.’ ‘I can endure \[this\]; you aren’t able to endure it.’ ‘Your words aren’t correct.’ ‘If you have any doubts, you should come and ask me; I can answer everything.’ The ascetic Gautama doesn’t do such things.’ > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 21.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.21.12) - [Next: 21.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.21.14) - [Up: 21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.21) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.21.p18) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.21.13) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Brahmajālasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.1.1.13.1-4) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.21.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.21.13) · Pramāṇa
