The Chapter on What Occupies the Mind

1
So I have heard.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
There the Buddha addressed the mendicants,
“Mendicants!”
“Venerable sir,” they replied.
The Buddha said this:
“Mendicants, I do not see a single sight that occupies a man’s mind like the sight of a woman.
The sight of a woman occupies a man’s mind.”
