佛垂般涅槃略說教誡經 1.10

1.10

“You monks, if you wish to be free from all suffering and affliction, you should contemplate contentment. The practice of contentment is itself the place of wealth, joy, and peace. A person who is content, though sleeping on the ground, is still peaceful and happy; one who is not content, though dwelling in the heavens, is still dissatisfied. The discontented, though wealthy, are poor; the contented, though poor, are wealthy. The discontented are constantly dragged around by the five desires, and are pitied by the contented. This is called contentment.
