the son of Jains,<br\/>on being questioned by the Lord<br\/>on the development of mind,<br\/>did not succeed (in replying).<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then the Lord spoke thus to Saccaka, the son of Jains:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;That which was first spoken of by you, Aggivessana,<br\/>as the development of the body,<br\/>that, in the discipline for an ariyan,<br\/>is not the proper development of the body.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">For you, Aggivessana,<br\/>do not know what is development of the body,<br\/>so how can you know<br\/>what is development of the mind?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Yet, Aggivessana, hear how there comes to be<br\/>one who is not developed as to body<br\/>and not developed as to mind,<br\/>developed as to body<br\/>and developed as to mind;<br\/>pay careful attention<br\/>and I will speak.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;Yes, sir,&#8221; Saccaka, the son of Jains,<br\/>answered the Lord in assent.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">The Lord spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;And how, Aggivessana, does one come to be<br\/>not developed as to body<br\/>and not developed as to mind?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">As to this, Aggivessana,<br\/>a pleasurable feeling arises in an uninstructed ordinary man;<br\/>he, being assailed by the pleasurable feeling,<br\/>becomes addicted to pleasure<br\/>and falls into addiction for pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">If that pleasurable feeling of his is stopped,<br\/>a painful feeling arises from the stopping <a id=\"pg294\"><span class=\"f2 g\"><b>[294]<\/b><\/span><\/a> of the pleasurable feeling;<br\/>he, being assailed by the painful feeling,<br\/>grieves,<br\/>mourns,<br\/>laments,<br\/>beats his breast<br\/>and falls into disillusion.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This pleasurable feeling, Aggivessana,<br\/>that has arisen in him,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>persists,<br\/>because of the non-development of body;<br\/>and the painful feeling that has arisen,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>persists,<br\/>because of the non-development of mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">In anyone in whom, Aggivessana,<br\/>there are these two alternatives thus:<br\/>a pleasurable feeling that has arisen,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>persists,<br\/>because of the non-development of body;<br\/>and a painful feeling that has arisen,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>persists,<br\/>because of the non-development of mind

does there come to be, Aggivessana,<br\/>one who is both developed as to body<br\/>and developed as to mind?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">As to this, Aggivessana, a pleasurable feeling arises<br\/>in an instructed disciple of the ariyans;<br\/>he, being assailed by the pleasurable feeling,<br\/>does not become addicted to pleasure<br\/>nor does he fall into addiction to pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">If that pleasurable feeling of his is stopped<br\/>and a painful feeling arises<br\/>from the stopping of that pleasurable feeling,<br\/>he, being assailed by the painful feeling,<br\/>does not grieve,<br\/>mourn,<br\/>lament,<br\/>he does not beat his breast,<br\/>he does not fall into disillusion.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This pleasurable feeling, Aggivessana,<br\/>that has arisen in him,<br\/>impinging on his mind,<br\/>does not persist,<br\/>because of the development of the body;<br\/>and the painful feeling that has arisen,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>does not persist,<br\/>because of the development of mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">In anyone in whom, Aggivessana,<br\/>there are these two alternatives thus:<br\/>a pleasurable feeling that has arisen,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>does not persist,<br\/>because of the development of body;<br\/>and a painful feeling that has arisen,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>does not persist,<br\/>because of the development of mind &#8211;<br\/>he thus comes to be, Aggivessana,<br\/>both developed as to body<br\/>and developed as to mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;A believer thus am I<br\/>in the revered Gotama.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">For the revered Gotama<br\/>is both developed as to body<br\/>and developed as to mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;This speech spoken by you, Aggivessana,<br\/>is offensive and presumptuous,<br\/>but yet will I answer you.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When I, Aggivessana, had had the hair of my head and beard shaved,<br\/>and had clothed myself in saffron garments<br\/>and had gone forth from home into homelessness &#8211;<br\/>that a pleasurable feeling arisen in me,<br\/>impinging on my mind,<br\/>could persist,<br\/>or that a painful feeling arisen,<br\/>impinging on my mind,<br\/>could persist,<br\/>such a situation could not occur.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\"><a id=\"pg295\"><span class=\"f2 g\"><b>[295]<\/b><\/span><\/a> &#8220;Is it then that a pleasurable feeling<br\/>has not arisen in the good Gotama<br\/>of such a nature that,<br\/>having arisen,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>it could not persist?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Is it then that a painful feeling<br\/>has not arisen in the good Gotama<br\/>of such a nature that,<br\/>having arisen,<br\/>impinging on the mind,<br\/>it could not persist?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;How could this not be, Aggivessana?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Now, Aggivessana, before my Self-awakening<br\/>while I was still the bodhisatta,<br\/>not fully awakened,<br\/>it occurred to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Narrow is the household life,<br\/>a path of dust,<br\/>going forth is in the open,<br\/>nor is it easy while dwelling in a house<br\/>to lead the Brahma-faring completely fulfilled,<br\/>utterly purified,<br\/>polished like a conch-shell.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Suppose now that I,<br\/>having cut off hair and beard,<br\/>having clothed myself in saffron garments,<br\/>should go forth from home into homelessness?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Aggivessana, alter a time,<br\/>being young,<br\/>my hair coal-black,<br\/>possessed of radiant youth,<br\/>in the prime of my life \u2014<br\/>although my unwilling parents wept and wailed \u2014<br\/>having cut off my hair and beard,<br\/>having put on yellow robes,<br\/>went forth from home into homelessness.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">I, being gone forth thus,<br\/>a quester for whatever is good,<br\/>searching for the incomparable,<br\/>matchless path to peace,<br\/>approached \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma;<br\/>having approached,<br\/>I spoke thus to \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I, reverend K\u0101l\u0101ma, want to fare the Brahm\u0101-faring<br\/>in this dhamma and discipline.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This said, Aggivessana, \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma spoke thus to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Let the venerable one proceed;<br\/>this dhamma is such<br\/>that an intelligent man,<br\/>having soon realized super-knowledge for himself<br\/>(as learnt from) his own teacher,<br\/>may enter on and abide in it.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Aggivessana,<br\/>very soon,<br\/>very quickly,<br\/>mastered that dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">I, Aggivessana, as far as mere lip service,<br\/>mere repetition<br\/>were concerned,<br\/>spoke the doctrine of knowledge,<br\/>and the doctrine of the elders,<br\/>and I claimed \u2014<br\/>I as well as others \u2014<br\/>that &#8216;I know, I see.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, monks:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;But \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma does not merely proclaim this dhamma<br\/>simply out of faith:<br\/>Having realized super-knowledge for myself,<br\/>entering on it,<br\/>I am abiding therein.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">For surely \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma proceeds knowing,<br\/>seeing this dhamma.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then did I, Aggivessana, approach \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma;<br\/>having

super-knowledge for yourself,<br\/>entering thereon,<br\/>proclaim this dhamma?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said, Aggivessana,<br\/>\u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma proclaimed the plane of no-thing.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, monks:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;It is not only \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma who has faith,<br\/>I too have faith.<br\/>It is not only \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma who has energy,<br\/>I too have energy.<br\/>It is not only \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma who has mindfulness,<br\/>I too have mindfulness.<br\/>It is not only \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma who has concentration,<br\/>I too have concentration.<br\/>It is not only \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma who has intuitive wisdom,<br\/>I too have intuitive wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Suppose now that I should strive for the realisation of that dhamma<br\/>which \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma proclaims:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Having realized super-knowledge for myself,<br\/>entering on it I am abiding therein?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Aggivessana, very soon,<br\/>very quickly,<br\/>having realized super-knowledge for myself,<br\/>entering on that dhamma,<br\/>abided therein.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, Aggivessana, approached \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma;<br\/>having approached,<br\/>I spoke thus to \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Is it to this extent that you, reverend Kalama,<br\/>proclaim this dhamma,<br\/>entering on it,<br\/>having realized it by your own

reverence,<br\/>being just the two of us,<br\/>let us look after this group.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">In this way, Aggivessana, did \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma,<br\/>being my teacher,<br\/>set me<br\/>\u2014 the pupil \u2014<br\/>on the same level as himself<br\/>and honoured me with the highest honour.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, monks:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;This dhamma does not conduce to disregard<br\/>nor to dispassion<br\/>nor to stopping<br\/>nor to tranquillity<br\/>nor to

enough from this dhamma,<br\/>disregarded and turned away from this dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, monka, a quester for whatever is good,<br\/>searching for the incomparable,<br\/>matchless path to peace,<br\/>approached Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son;<br\/>having approached,<br\/>I spoke thus to Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I, your reverence, want to fare the Brahm\u0101-faring<br\/>in this dhamma and discipline.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This said, Aggivessana, Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son, spoke thus to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Let the venerable one proceed;<br\/>this dhamma is such<br\/>that an intelligent man,<br\/>having soon realized super-knowledge for himself,<br\/>(as learnt from) his own teacher,<br\/>may enter on and abide in it.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Aggivessana, very soon,<br\/>very quickly,<br\/>mastered that dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">I, Aggivessana, as far as mere lip service,<br\/>mere repetition were concerned,<br\/>spoke the doctrine of knowledge<br\/>and the doctrine of the elders,<br\/>and I claimed \u2014<br\/>I as well as others \u2014 that<br\/>&#8216;I know,<br\/>I see.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, monks:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;But Uddahka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son, does not merely proclaim this dhamma<br\/>simply out of faith:<br\/>Having realized super-knowledge for myself,<br\/>entering on it,<br\/>I am abiding in it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">For surely Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son,<br\/>proceeds knowing and seeing this dhamma.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then did I, Aggivessana, approach Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s;<br\/>having approached,<br\/>I spoke thus to Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;To what extent do you, reverend R\u0101ma,<br\/>having realized super-knowledge for yourself,<br\/>entering thereon<br\/>proclaim this dhamma?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said, Aggivessana,<br\/>Uddahka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son, proclaimed the plane of neither-perception-nor-non-perception.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, monks:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;It is not only  R\u0101ma who has faith,<br\/>I too have faith.<br\/>It is not only  R\u0101ma who has <b>[166]<\/b> energy,<br\/>I too have energy.<br\/>It is not only  R\u0101ma who has mindfulness,<br\/>I too have mindfulness.<br\/>It is not only

that I should strive for the realisation of that dhamma<br\/>which R\u0101ma proclaims:<br\/>&#8216;Having realized super-knowledge for myself,<br\/>entering on it<br\/>I am abiding in it?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Aggivessana, very soon,<br\/>very quickly,<br\/>having realized super-knowledge for myself,<br\/>entering on that dhamma,<br\/>abided therein.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, Aggivessana, approached Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son;<br\/>having approached,<br\/>I spoke thus to Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s

it.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;It is profitable for us,<br\/>it is well gotten by us, your reverence,<br\/>that we see a fellow-Brahm\u0101-farer<br\/>such as the venerable one.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This dhamma that I, entering on, proclaim,<br\/>having realized it by my own super-knowledge,<br\/>is the dhamma that you, entering on, are abiding in,<br\/>having realized it by your own super-knowledge;<br\/>the dhamma that you, entering on, are abiding in,<br\/>having realized it by your own super-knowledge,<br\/>is the dhamma that I, entering on, proclaim,<br\/>having realized it by my own super-knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">The dhamma that I know,<br\/>this is the dhamma that you know.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">That dhamma that you know,<br\/>this is the dhamma that I know.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">As I am,<br\/>so are you;<br\/>as you are,<br\/>so am I.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Come now, your reverence,<br\/>being just the two of us,<br\/>let us look after this group.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">In this way, Aggivessana, did Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son,<br\/>being my teacher, set me<br\/>\u2014 the pupil \u2014<br\/>on the same level as himself<br\/>and honoured me with the highest honour.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, monks:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p

Nibb\u0101na,<br\/>but only as far as reaching the plane of neither-perception-nor-non-perception.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Aggivessana, not getting enough from this dhamma,<br\/>disregarded and turned away from this dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, Aggivessana, a quester for whatever is good,<br\/>searching for the incomparable,<br\/>matchless path to peace,<br\/>walking on tour through Magadha<br\/>in due course arrived at Uruvela,<br\/>the camp township.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">There I saw a delightful stretch of land<br\/>and a lovely woodland grove,<br\/>and a clear flowing river<br\/>with a delightful ford,<br\/>and a village for support nearby.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It occurred to me, Aggivessana:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Indeed it it is a delightful stretch of land,<br\/>and the woodland grove is lovely,<br\/>and the river flows clear<br\/>with a delightful
