396. The difference

```

O Lord Buddha,

Please tell me the difference

Between

Sujata’s sweetmeat

And

Chunda’s venom-meat.

“Brother, the difference?

Practically none!

Sujata’s sweetmeat

Helped me openly in unlearning

The lessons of Ignorance.

Chunda’s venom-meat

Helped me secretly in learning

The message of Nirvana.” ```
