AN.IV.113	Patoda Sutta	Comparison of training horses with the way the Buddha trains his disciples: 1. Just as some horses think immediately of the task required of them at the sight of the goad -- in the same way, a well trained person will be inspired to earnest practice simply by hearing of a stranger who is suffering or dying; 2. Just as some horses need to be beaten by the goad before thinking of the task required of them -- in the same way, a less well trained person may need to wait until they see someone suffering or dying with their own eyes before being inspired to earnest practice; 3. Just as some horses need to be cut to the flesh by the goad before thinking of the task required of them -- in the same way, an even less well trained person may need to wait until they hear of a relation who is suffering or dying before being inspired to earnest practice, and; 4. Just as some horses need to be cut to the bone by the goad before thinking of the task required of them -- in the same way, an even less well trained person may need to wait until they themselves are afflicted by suffering or dying before being inspired to earnest practice.	35/303	Catukanipaata Tatiya Pa.n.naasaka	A"nguttara	A.ii.
