Daily Word of Buddha - June 10th

The wanderer Samandakani asked Venerable Sariputta: "Pray, your
reverence, what is good and what is bad?"

"Your reverence, rebirth is bad and the ceasing of rebirth is good.
Where there is rebirth this bad may be seen: cold and heat, hunger and
thirst, defecation and urination, contact with fire, rod and spear,
even one's own relatives and friends abuse one when they congregate
together. But when there is the ceasing of rebirth this good may be
seen: no cold or heat, no hunger and thirst, no defecation and
urination, no contact with fire, rod and spear and no abuse from one's
relatives and friends when they congregate together."
