[1644] "Does one person restrain the mind (citta) of another?"
"Yes."
"But was it not said by the Blessed One:
'By oneself alone is evil done;
by oneself is one defiled.
By oneself is evil left undone;
by oneself alone is one purified.
Purity and impurity pertain to oneself alone;
no one can purify another'?
Is there really such a discourse (suttanta)?"
"Yes."
"Then indeed it should not be said that one person restrains the mind of another."
