To Visakha Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. For free distribution only. I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying in Savatthi at the Eastern Monastery, the palace of Migara's mother . Now at that time, Visakha, Migara's mother, had some dealings with King Pasenadi Kosala that he did not settle as she had wished. So in the middle of the day she went to the Blessed One and, on arrival, having bowed down to him, sat to one side.
All independence is bliss.
What is held in common brings suffering, for duties are hard to overcome.
