§ 29.

This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Endowed with two things, a monk lives in ease in the present life -- untroubled, undistressed, & unfeverish -- and at the break-up of the body, after death, a good destination can be expected. Which two? A guarding of the doors of the sense faculties, and knowing moderation in food. Endowed with these two things, a monk lives in ease in the present life -- untroubled, undistressed, & unfeverish -- and at the break-up of the body, after death, a good destination can be expected."

Eye & ear & nose,
tongue & body & mind:
when a monk has these doors well guarded
-- knowing moderation in food,
    restraining his senses --
he experiences ease:
    ease in body, ease
    in mind.
Not burning in body,
not burning in mind,
    whether by day or by night,
    he lives
    in ease.
