Saṁyutta Nikāya — Discursos Conectados — 1.19 — Little Hut

1“Don’t you have a little hut?
Don’t you have a little nest?
Don’t you have any networks?
Aren’t you free of shackles?”

2“Indeed I have no little hut.
Indeed I have no little nest.
Indeed I have no networks.
Indeed I’m free from shackles.”

3“What do you think I call your little hut?
What do I call your little nest?
What do I call your network?
And what do I call your shackle?”

4“You call mother a little hut;
and wife a little nest.
You call children a network,
and you call my craving a shackle.”

5“It’s good you have no little hut!
It’s good you have no little nest!
It’s good you have no networks!
And good that you’re free from shackles.”
