Seeing gold on the ground, he picked it up silently. He said to his teacher: "Walk quickly, there is no one around here; it is terrifying." The teacher said: "It is only because of the gold that you are afraid." When he threw the gold away, he was no longer afraid. The disciple then bowed to his teacher and said: "It was because of my foolishness and ignorance; now that I have discarded it, I am no longer afraid." The Buddha told the disciples: 'If practitioners crave the Way as the śrāmaṇera craved gold, why should they worry about not attaining the Way!' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.67](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.67) - [Next: 1.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.69) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730~en-mt.1.68) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.68](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.730.1.68) · Pramāṇa
