Iti 28
Itivuttaka: The Group of Twos
translated from the Pali by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard: "Endowed with two things, a monk lives in stress in the present life troubled, distressed, & feverish and at the break-up of the body, after death, a bad destination can be expected. Which two? A lack of guarding of the doors of the sense faculties, and knowing no moderation in food. Endowed with these two things, a monk lives in stress in the present life troubled, distressed, & feverish and at the break-up of the body, after death, a bad destination can be expected."
Eye & ear & nose, tongue & body & mind: when a monk leaves these doors unguarded knowing no moderation in food, not restraining his senses he experiences stress: stress in body, stress in mind. Burning in body burning in mind, whether by day or by night, he lives in suffering & stress.
