The delusional pleasures of humans and devas are deemed desirable. Wishing to establish keeping of principle, phenomenal precepts are reproached; thus, regarding the sought retribution, contaminated pleasure is rebuked. It is like an āmrāta fruit lying in dung: a wise youth should not seek to eat it. Pleasure mixed with view and thought \[delusions\] is like delicious worldly food mixed with poison; eating it harms life, so a person of contemplative wisdom should not seek it. Even if one obtains flower retribution, the heart does not relish it or give rise to joy; why then do ordinary people keep precepts for the sake of desire? > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2.28) - [Next: 2.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2.30) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786~en-mt.2.29) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2.29](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1786.2.29) · Pramāṇa
