Uttaradhyayana or Uttaradhyayana Sutra is a Śvētāmbara text said to be one of the final set lectures given by Lord Mahavira before his liberation.
The Thirty Fifth Chapter
The Houseless Monk
Learn from me, with attentive minds, the road shown by the wise ones, which leads a monk who follows it, to the end of all misery.
Giving up the life in a house, and taking Pravragya, a sage should know and renounce those attachments which take hold of men.
A restrained monk should abstain from killing, lying, stealing, carnal intercourse, from desire, love, and greed.
Even in his thoughts a monk should not long for a pleasant painted house filled with the fragrance of garlands and frankincense, secured by doors, and decorated with a white ceiling-cloth.
For in such a dwelling a monk will find it difficult to prevent his senses from increased desire and passion.
Let's listen Archarya Chandanashriji to understand the real meaning of Uttaradhyayana and it's Thirty Fifth Chapter
