The Buddhist master
Vasubandhu used various examples to show how attachment to sense pleasures creates suffering.
Moths are ensnared by attachment to visual forms when they fly into the flame;
Deer to sounds when they are enticed by the hunter's flute;
Flies to smells when they land on food and are swatted;
Fish to food when they are impaled on the hook;
And elephants to tactile sensations when they sink helplessly into mud.
Meanwhile, humans are ensnared by attachment to all five!
