Post by: Dhammañāṇa on January 10, 2020, 04:50:04 PM
The Sublime Buddha once explained Ven. Ananda, speaking on woman, why they are for the most headed downwardly, and if investigating it, it might not only a matter of woman but of most never having found faith in the Dhamma:

In the first third of life woman are selfish and concentrate only on themselves.

In the secound third of live they are jealous.

And in the last third of life they are attached to sensual pleasure.

Right?

Really blessed those who are not common in regard to their age.

Generous and helping already as child and in the youth, as soon as gained a little for oneself not jealous. And after having done what was to do, seeking for renouncing.

Not to speak if after all three already in the youth.

Which part of life have you entered, what's the biggest danger now?
