SN.1.29. Catucakkasutta ("Four Wheels")
Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")“Four are its wheels, and nine its doors;
it’s fettered, filled with greed,
and born from a bog.
Great hero, how am I supposed to live like this?”
“Having cut the strap and harness—
the wicked desire and greed—
and having plucked out craving, root and all:
that’s how you’re supposed to live like this.”
