佛言:「人有患婬情不止,踞斧刃上以自除其陰。佛謂之曰:『若使斷陰,不如斷心。心為功曹,若止功曹,從者都息。』」

The Buddha said: "A person suffered from relentless lustful desires and sat on an axe blade to sever his own genitals. The Buddha said to him: 'Severing the genitals is not as good as severing the mind. The mind is the commander; if the commander is stopped, the followers will all cease.'"
