    Sanusamanera Vatthu (Verse 326)


    The Story of Samanera Sanu
    (Lesson)
    Training the wandering mind
    Sānu was a young samanera who, when he recited part of the pali texts, attracted even
    the deities to listen, but when he reached manhood he grew discontent and purposed to disrobe;
    his mother persuaded him to continue in the monastic life and take his higher ordination; this is
    the teaching the Buddha gave urging him to control his thoughts.
