The five sense objects are not themselves desires, but there is flavor in them that can generate a practitioner's longing and desire; hence they are called the "five desires." For example, if a potter is invited by visitors, he cannot complete his work; the five desires are also like this, constantly able to drag people into various realms of māra. Although one possesses the preceding conditions, establishing concentration of the mind is difficult; therefore, they must be reproved. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.134](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.134) - [Next: 4.136](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.136) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911~en-mt.4.135) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.135](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.4.135) · Pramāṇa
