1.6

The Buddha said: "Shaving off beard and hair, becoming a śramaṇa, receiving the teachings of the Way, renouncing worldly wealth, begging for alms to take only what suffices, eating one meal at midday, resting for one night beneath a tree, taking care not to do so a second time! What causes a person to be foolish and degraded is craving and desire."
