SN 1.19 — Little Hut

“Don’t you have a little hut? Don’t you have a little nest? Don’t you have any networks? Aren’t you free of shackles?” “Indeed I have no little hut. Indeed I have no little nest. Indeed I have no networks. Indeed I’m free from shackles.” “What do you think I call your little hut? What do I call your little nest? What do I call your network? And what do I call your shackle?” “You call mother a little hut; and wife a little nest. You call children a network, and you call my craving a shackle.” “It’s good you have no little hut! It’s good you have no little nest! It’s good you have no networks! And good that you’re free from shackles.”
