He isn’t pleased with obtaining fine clothes and isn’t saddened when having ugly clothes. He isn’t defiled or attached, knows what shouldn’t be done, and knows the way to the escape. He’s diligent and not negligent about these rules and accomplishes these things without fault or loss. He also teaches people to accomplish these things. This is the first of the noble clan’s way of satisfied living. From the past until the present, he’s never troubled. It’s impossible for gods like Māra or Brahmā, ascetics and priests, or spirits and worldly people to reproach him. He’s satisfied in the same way regarding \[2\] meals, \[3\] bedding, and \[4\] medicines for illness. - [Previous: 9.p78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.9.p78) - [Next: 9.p80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.9.p80) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.9) ## Linked texts (1) - [長阿含經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas.9.18) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.9.p79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.agama.dirghagama*zh-buddhayasas~en-patton.9.p79) · Pramāṇa
