Sokuzan reads from the Samyutta Nikaya, chapter 1 verse 69 in the "Book with Verses" as translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi to inspire today's talk:

[A devata asks:]

“By what is the world bound?

By the removal of what is freed?

What is it that one must forsake

To cut off all bondage?”

[The Buddha replies:]

“By desire is the world bound;

By the removal of desire it is freed.

Desire is what one must forsake

To cut off all bondage.”
