Upakkilesa Sutta3

Sutta

Un discours comparant les nuages, la brume, la fumée et l’éclipse qui obscurcissent le soleil et la lune aux intoxicants, relations sexuelles, argent et moyens de subsistance erronés qui diminuent la sainteté des ascètes.

Four things prevent the sun and the moon from shining with their full brilliance — clouds, mist, smoke or dust, and Rāhu (eclipse).

Similarly four things diminish the holiness of ascetics and recluses — intoxicants, sexual relations, money, and wrong livelihood (A.ii.53 f).
