Text

77. “Having many relatives is ultimately meaningless, Bhikkhus. What you should strive to increase is not the number of relatives to call your ‘own kin,’ but instead, you should strive to increase your wisdom!

“Therefore, Bhikkhus, you should focus all your energy on increasing the wisdom in your heart! That is how you must train yourselves!”
