Dhammapada Verses 249 & 250: Disturbed Dhammapada Part II

    • Buddhism

Verse 249
People give according to their faith or regard. If one becomes discontented with the food and drink given by others, one does not attain meditative absorption, either by day or by night.

Verse 250
But he in who this (discontent) is fully destroyed, uprooted and extinct, he attains absorption, both by day and by night.
