Answer by Suminda Sirinath S. Dharmasena for What is the origin of the Buddhist expression "Practice as if your hair is one fire"?

Tissa (Thag 1.39) {Thag 39}

As if struck by a sword, as if his head were on fire, a monk should live the wandering life — mindful — for the abandoning of sensual passion.
