Why is that? These things come from diligence, focused attention that’s not lost, happily living in seclusion, and not being negligent. > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) > “He completely fills one direction with kindness and the other directions as well. It’s vast, without end, without duality, measureless, and lacks resentment or harmfulness. He’s entertained by this mental state and enjoys himself. How is it, Vāsiṣṭha? Does Brahmā have resentment, or does he not?” > — Charles Patton, The Long Discourses (selected sūtras) - [Previous: 26.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.26.67) - [Next: 26.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.26.69) - [Up: 26](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.26) ## Translations (2) - [The Long Discourses (selected sūtras)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.26.p95) — Charles Patton, English - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-mt.26.68) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [Tevijjasutta](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.digha.13.40-75.1-4) — Pāli --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.26.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.26.68) · Pramāṇa
