Sutta 120

Bhaya Suttaṃ

Fears (b)1

 


[125]

Thus have I heard:

On a certain occasion the Exalted One was staying near Sāvatthī.

Then the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:

"Monks."

"Yes, lord," they replied, and the Exalted One said:

"Monks, there are these four fears.

What four?

Fear of fire,
fear of water,
fear of the rajah,
fear of the bandit.

These are the four fears."

 


1 These two suttas [Ed.: this and the previous.] should belong to the next chapter in context.
