Shielding the Mind Manonivāraṇasutta
“Whatever you’ve shielded the mind from “Yato yato mano nivāraye, can’t cause you suffering. Na dukkhameti naṁ tato tato; So you should shield the mind from everything, Sa sabbato mano nivāraye, then you’re freed from all suffering.” Sa sabbato dukkhā pamuccatī”ti.
“You need not shield the mind from everything, “Na sabbato mano nivāraye, nor has the mind gained self-control. Na mano saṁyatattamāgataṁ; The mind need only be shielded Yato yato ca pāpakaṁ, from where the bad things come.” Tato tato mano nivāraye”ti.
