1"Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing that when protected leads to such great good as the mind. A protected mind leads to great good."

1"Nāhaṁ, bhikkhave, aññaṁ ekadhammampi samanupassāmi yaṁ evaṁ rakkhitaṁ mahato atthāya saṁvattati yathayidaṁ, bhikkhave, cittaṁ. Cittaṁ, bhikkhave, rakkhitaṁ mahato atthāya saṁvattatī"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
