DhA.		XXVI:15 Cut the strap of craving Once there lived in Savatthi two brahmins, each of whom owned an ox. Each claimed that his ox was better and stronger. At last they agreed to put their animals to the test. So they went to the bank of a river and there they filled up the cart with sand. One after the other, the oxen pulled the cart, but they only pulled in vain, because the cart did not move and the ropes broke off. On seeing this, the bhikkhus reported to the Buddha who said, 'Bhikkhus! It is easy to break off the straps which you can see with your own eyes; anyone can break them or cut them. But my sons, a bhikkhu should cut the straps of anger and craving which are within you and which bind you.'	55/170	Dhammapada & Commentary	Khuddhaka	J.i.106ff.	despair
