5. “This mind is always anxious,
6. this mind is always stressed
7. about stresses that haven’t arisen
8. and those that have.
9. If there is a state free of anxiety,
10. please answer my question.”
11. “Not without understanding and fervor,
12. not without restraining the sense faculties,
13. not without letting go of everything,
14. do I see safety for living creatures.”
15. That is what the Buddha said. …
16. The god vanished right there.
