A śramaṇa should view emotional desires as worse than that mud; with a straightforward mind mindful of the Way, one can escape all suffering." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.289](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.289) - [Next: 1.291](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.291) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794~en-mt.1.290) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [四十二章經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.784.1.51) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་དུམ་བུ་ཞེ་གཉིས་པ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.359a.1) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.290](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1794.1.290) · Pramāṇa
