Numbered Discourses 8.18

1. The Great Chapter

Catching (2nd)

“Mendicants, a man catches a woman using eight features.

What eight?

With weeping,

laughing,

speaking,

appearance,

gifts of wildflowers,

scents,

tastes,

and touches.

A man catches a woman using these eight features.

But those beings who are caught by touch are well and truly caught.”
