the deer-park.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">At that time Prince Bodhi had a palace named Kokanada;<span class=\"f1\"><sup>[<a id=\"fn1\" href=\"#n1\">1<\/a>]<\/sup><\/span><br\/>it had not long

the brahman youth Sa\u00f1jik\u0101&#8217;s son,<br\/>having understood the Lord&#8217;s consent,<br\/>rising from his seat<br\/>approached Prince Bodhi;<br\/>having approached,<br\/>he spoke thus to Prince Bodhi:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;I spoke in your name, good sir,<br\/>to the Lord Gotama,<br\/>saying:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;Good Gotama,<br\/>Prince Bodhi

the Lord<br\/>and approached the Kokanada palace.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then the Lord stood<br\/>leaning against the last flight of stairs.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And Prince Bodhi spoke thus to the Lord:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;Revered sir, let the Lord step on the cloths,<br\/>let the Well-farer step on the cloths<br\/>so that for a long time<br\/>it may

ready<br\/>together with the Order of monks.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then Prince Bodhi<br\/>with his own hand<br\/>served and satisfied the Order of monks<br\/>with the Lord at its head<br\/>with sumptuous foods,<br\/>solid and soft.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then when the Lord had eaten<br\/>and had withdrawn his hand from his bowl,<br\/>Prince Bodhi, having taken a

dhamma,<br\/>entering on it,<br\/>having realized it by your own super-knowledge?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;It is to this extent<br\/>that I, your reverence,<br\/>proclaim this dhamma,<br\/>entering on it,<br\/>having realized it by my own super-knowledge.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I too, your reverence,<br\/>having realized this dhamma by my own super-knowledge,<br\/>entering on it<br\/>am abiding in 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,<br\/>your reverence,<br\/>that we see a fellow-Brahm\u0101-farer such as the venerable one.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This dhamma that I,<br\/>entering on,<br\/>proclaim,<br\/>having realized it by my own super-knowledge,<br\/>is the dhamma that you,<br\/>entering on,<br\/>are abiding in,<br\/>having realized it by your own super-knowledge;<br\/>the dhamma that you,<br\/>entering on,<br\/>are abiding in,<br\/>having realized it by your own super-knowledge,<br\/>is the dhamma that I,<br\/>entering on,<br\/>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, Prince, did Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son,<br\/>being my teacher,<br\/>set me \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, Prince:<\/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 super-knowledge<br\/>nor to awakening<br\/>nor to 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, Prince, not getting enough from this dhamma,<br\/>disregarded and turned away from this dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr class=\"hrctr\"\/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/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\/>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, Prince:<\/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 ford,<br\/>and there is a village for support nearby.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Indeed this does well<br\/>for the striving<br\/>of a young man set on striving.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Moreover, Prince,<br\/>three similes occurred to me spontaneously,<br\/>never heard before:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is as if there were a wet sappy stick placed in water;<br\/>then a man might come along<br\/>bringing an upper piece of fire-stick,<br\/>and thinking:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I will light a fire,<br\/>I will get heat.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">What do you think about this, Prince?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Could that man, bringing an upper piece of fire-stick,<br\/>and rubbing that wet sappy stick<br\/>that had been placed in water (with it),<br\/>light a fire,<br\/>could he get heat?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;No, good Gotama.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">What is the cause of this?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is, good Gotama,<br\/>that such a stick is wet and sappy<br\/>and that it was placed in water.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">That man would only get fatigue and distress.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;In like manner, Prince,<br\/>whatever recluses or brahmans dwell not aloof<br\/>from pleasures of the senses that are bodily,<br\/>then if that which is for them,<br\/>among the sense-pleasures,<br\/>desire for sense-pleasure,<br\/>affection for sense-pleasure,<br\/>infatuation with sense-pleasure,<br\/>thirst for sense-pleasure,<br\/>fever for sense-pleasure &#8211;<br\/>if that is not properly got rid of subjectively<br\/>nor properly allayed,<br\/>whether these worthy recluses

knowledge,<br\/>for vision,<br\/>for the incomparable Self-awakening.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This, Prince, was the first parable<br\/>that occurred to me spontaneously,<br\/>never heard before.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ctr c\">\u25a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, Prince, a second parable<br\/>occurred to me spontaneously,<br\/>never heard before.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It is as if, Prince, a wet, sappy stick<br\/>were placed on dry ground,<br\/>far from water.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then a man might come along<br\/>bringing an upper piece of fire-stick,<br\/>and thinking:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I will light a fire,<br\/>I will get heat.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">What do you think about this,

class=\"f4\">It is, good Gotama, that that stick is wet and sappy<br\/>although it had been placed on dry ground,<br\/>far from water.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So that man would only get fatigue and distress.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;In like manner, Prince,<br\/>whatever recluses or brahmans dwell not aloof<br\/>from pleasures of the senses that are

class=\"f4\">&#8216;Suppose now that I,<br\/>with my teeth clenched,<br\/>with my tongue pressed against the palate,<br\/>by mind should subdue,<br\/>restrain and dominate my mind?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Prince, with my teeth clenched,<br\/>with my tongue pressed against the palate,<br\/>by mind subdued,<br\/>restrained<br\/>and dominated my

clenched,<br\/>with my tongue pressed against the palate,<br\/>sweat poured from my armpits.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Although, Prince, unsluggish energy came to be stirred up in me,<br\/>unmuddled mindfulness set up,<br\/>yet my body was turbulent,<br\/>not calmed,<br\/>because I was harassed in striving<br\/>by striving against that very pain.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But yet, Prince,<br\/>that painful feeling,<br\/>arising in me,<br\/>persisted without impinging on my mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Suppose now that I should meditate<br\/>the non-breathing meditation?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Prince,<br\/>stopped breathing in and

through the nose,<br\/>there came to be an exceedingly loud noise<br\/>of winds escaping by the auditory passages.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">As there comes to be an exceedingly loud

exceedingly loud noise<br\/>of wind escaping by the auditory passages.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Although, Prince, unsluggish energy came to be stirred up in me,<br\/>unmuddled mindfulness set

Prince,<br\/>that a painful feeling that had arisen in me<br\/>persisted without impinging on my mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">It occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p

mouth<br\/>and through the nose<br\/>and through the ears,<br\/>exceedingly loud winds rent my head.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">As, Prince, a strong man<br\/>might cleave one&#8217;s head<br\/>with a sharp-edged sword,<br\/>even so when I, Prince, stopped breathing in and breathing out<br\/>through the mouth<br\/>and through the nose<br\/>and through the ears,<br\/>exceedingly

creepers;<br\/>because I ate so little,<br\/>my buttocks became like a bullock&#8217;s hoof;<br\/>because I ate so little,<br\/>my protruding backbone<br\/>became like a string of balls;<br\/>because I ate so little,<br\/>my gaunt ribs<br\/>became like the crazy rafters<br\/>of a tumble-down shed;<br\/>because I ate so little,<br\/>the pupils of my eyes<br\/>appeared lying low and deep;<br\/>because I ate so little,<br\/>my scalp became shrivelled and shrunk<br\/>as a bitter white gourd<br\/>cut before it is ripe<br\/>becomes shrivelled and shrunk by a hot wind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">If I, Prince, thought:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I will touch the skin of my belly,&#8217;<br\/>it was my backbone that I took hold of.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">If I thought:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I will touch my backbone,&#8217;<br\/>it was the skin of my belly that I took hold of.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">For because I ate so little,<br\/>the skin of my belly, Prince,<br\/>came to be cleaving to my backbone.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">If I, Prince, thought:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I will obey the calls of nature,&#8217;<br\/>I fell down on my face then and there,<br\/>because I ate so little.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">If I, Prince, soothing my body,<br\/>stroked my limbs with my hand,<br\/>the hairs,<br\/>rotted at the roots,<br\/>fell away from my body<br\/>as I stroked my limbs with my hand,<br\/>because I ate so little.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And further, Prince, men,<br\/>having seen me,<br\/>spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;The recluse Gotama is black.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Other men spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;The recluse Gotama is not black,<br\/>the recluse Gotama is deep brown.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Some men spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;The recluse Gotama is not black,<br\/>he is not even deep brown,<br\/>the recluse Gotama is of a sallow colour.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">To such an extent, Prince,<br\/>was my clear pure complexion<br\/>spoilt because I ate so little.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This, Prince, occurred to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Some recluses and brahmans<br\/>in the past<br\/>have experienced feelings that were acute,<br\/>painful,<br\/>sharp,<br\/>severe;<br\/>but this is paramount,<br\/>nor is there worse than this.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And some recluses and brahmans<br\/>in the future<br\/>will experience feelings that are acute,<br\/>painful,<br\/>sharp,<br\/>severe;<br\/>but this is paramount,<br\/>nor is there worse than this.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And some recluses and brahmans<br\/>are now<br\/>experiencing feelings that are acute,<br\/>painful,<br\/>sharp,<br\/>severe;<br\/>but this is paramount,<br\/>nor is there worse than this.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But I,<br\/>by this severe austerity,<br\/>do not reach states of further-men,<br\/>the excellent knowledge and vision<br\/>befitting the ariyans.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Could there be another way to awakening?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This, Prince, occurred to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I know that while my father, the Sakyan,<br\/>was ploughing,<br\/>and I was sitting in the cool shade of a rose-apple tree,<br\/>aloof from pleasures of the senses,<br\/>aloof from unskilled states of mind,<br\/>entering on the first meditation,<br\/>which is accompanied by initial thought<br\/>and discursive thought,<br\/>is born of aloofness,<br\/>and is rapturous and joyful,<br\/>and while abiding therein,<br\/>I thought:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Now could this be a way to awakening?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, following on my mindfulness, Prince,<br\/>there was the consciousness:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;This is itself the Way to awakening.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Now, am I afraid of that happiness<br\/>which is happiness<br\/>apart from sense-pleasures,<br\/>apart from unskilled states of mind?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;I am not afraid of that happiness<br\/>which is happiness<br\/>apart from sense-pleasures,<br\/>apart from unskilled states of mind.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Now it is not easy to reach that happiness<br\/>by thus subjecting the body<br\/>to extreme emaciation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Suppose I were to take material nourishment &#8211;<br\/>boiled rice<br\/>and sour milk?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So I, Prince, took material nourishment &#8211;<br\/>boiled rice<br\/>and sour milk.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Now at that time, Prince,<br\/>five monks were attending me<br\/>and (they thought):<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;When the recluse Gotama wins <i>Dhamma<\/i><br\/>he will announce it to us.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But when I, Prince, took material nourishment &#8211;<br\/>boiled rice<br\/>and sour milk &#8211;<br\/>then these five monks turned on me in disgust,<br\/>saying:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;The recluse Gotama lives in abundance,<br\/>he is wavering in his striving,<br\/>he has reverted to a life of abundance.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But when I, Prince, had taken some material nourishment,<br\/>having picked up strength,<br\/>aloof from pleasures of the senses,<br\/>aloof from unskilled states of mind,<br\/>I entered on<br\/>and abided in<br\/>the first meditation<br\/>which is accompanied by initial thought<br\/>and discursive thought,<br\/>is born of aloofness,<br\/>and is rapturous and joyful.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But yet, Prince, the pleasurable feeling, arising in me,<br\/>persisted without impinging on my mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">By allaying initial thought<br\/>and discursive thought,<br\/>with the mind subjectively tranquillised<br\/>and fixed on one point,<br\/>I entered on<br\/>and abided in<br\/>the second meditation<br\/>which is devoid of initial and discursive thought,<br\/>is born of concentration,<br\/>and is rapturous and joyful.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But yet, Prince, the pleasurable feeling, arising in me,<br\/>persisted without impinging on my mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">By the fading out of rapture<br\/>I dwelt with equanimity,<br\/>attentive and clearly conscious,<br\/>and I experienced in my person<br\/>that joy of which the ariyans say:<br\/>&#8216;Joyful lives he who has equanimity and is mindful,&#8217;<br\/>and I entered on<br\/>and abided in<br\/>the third meditation.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But yet, Prince, the pleasurable feeling, arising in me,<br\/>persisted without impinging on my mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">By getting rid of joy<br\/>and by getting rid of anguish,<br\/>by the going down of former pleasures and sorrows,<br\/>I entered into<br\/>and abided in<br\/>the fourth meditation<br\/>which has neither anguish nor joy<br\/>and which is entirely purified<br\/>by equanimity and mindfulness.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But yet, Prince, the pleasurable feeling, arising in me,<br\/>persisted without impinging on my mind.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<hr class=\"hrctr\"\/>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">With the mind composed thus,<br\/>quite purified,<br\/>quite clarified,<br\/>without blemish,<br\/>without defilement,<br\/>grown soft and workable,<br\/>fixed,<br\/>immovable,<br\/>I directed my mind<br\/>to the knowledge and recollection<br\/>of former habitations:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">I remembered a variety of former habitations, thus:<br\/>one birth,<br\/>two births,<br\/>three births,<br\/>four births,<br\/>five births,<br\/>ten births,<br\/>twenty births,<br\/>thirty births,<br\/>forty births,<br\/>fifty births,<br\/>a hundred births,<br\/>a thousand births,<br\/>a hundred thousand births,<br\/>and many an eon of integration<br\/>and many an eon of disintegration<br\/>and many an eon of integration-disintegration;<br\/>such a one was I by name,<br\/>having such and such a clan,<br\/>such and such a colour,<br\/>so was I nourished,<br\/>such and such pleasant and painful experiences were mine,<br\/>so did the span of life end.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Passing from this,<br\/>I came to be in another state<br\/>where such a one was I by name,<br\/>having such and such a clan,<br\/>such and such a colour,<br\/>so was I nourished,<br\/>such and such pleasant and painful experiences were mine,<br\/>so did the span of life end.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Passing from this,<br\/>I arose here.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Thus I remember divers former habitations<br\/>in all their modes and detail.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This, Prince,<br\/>was the first knowledge attained by me<br\/>in the first watch of the night;<br\/>ignorance was dispelled,<br\/>knowledge arose,<br\/>darkness was dispelled,<br\/>light arose,<br\/>even as I abided diligent,<br\/>ardent,<br\/>self-resolute.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ctr c\">\u25a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then with the mind composed,<br\/>quite purified,<br\/>quite clarified,<br\/>without blemish,<br\/>without defilement,<br\/>grown soft and workable,<br\/>fixed,<br\/>immovable,<br\/>I directed my mind<br\/>to the knowledge of the passing hence<br\/>and the arising of beings.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">With the purified deva-vision<br\/>surpassing that of men<br\/>I see beings as they pass hence<br\/>or come to be;<br\/>I comprehend that beings are mean,<br\/>excellent,<br\/>comely,<br\/>ugly,<br\/>well-going,<br\/>ill-going,<br\/>according to the consequences of their deeds,<br\/>and I think:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Indeed these worthy beings<br\/>who were possessed of wrong conduct in body,<br\/>who were possessed of wrong conduct of speech,<br\/>who were possessed of wrong conduct of thought,<br\/>scoffers at the ariyans,<br\/>holding a wrong view,<br\/>incurring deeds consequent on a wrong view &#8211;<br\/>these, at the breaking up of the body after dying,<br\/>have arisen in a sorrowful state,<br\/>a bad bourn,<br\/>the abyss,<br\/>Niraya Hell.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But these worthy beings<br\/>who were possessed of good conduct in body,<br\/>who were possessed of good conduct in speech,<br\/>who were possessed of good conduct in thought,<br\/>who did not scoff at the ariyans,<br\/>holding a right view,<br\/>incurring deeds consequent on a right view &#8211;<br\/>these, at the breaking up of the body after dying,<br\/>have arisen in a good bourn,<br\/>a heaven world.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Thus with the purified deva-vision<br\/>surpassing that of men<br\/>do I see beings as they pass hence,<br\/>as they arise;<br\/>I comprehend that beings are mean,<br\/>excellent,<br\/>comely,<br\/>ugly,<br\/>well-going,<br\/>ill-going<br\/>according to the consequences of their deeds.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This, Prince,<br\/>was the second knowledge attained by me<br\/>in the middle watch of the night;<br\/>ignorance was dispelled,<br\/>knowledge arose,<br\/>darkness was dispelled,<br\/>light arose,<br\/>even as I abided diligent,<br\/>ardent,<br\/>self-resolute.<span class=\"f1\"><sup>[<a id=\"fn5\" href=\"#n5\">5<\/a>]<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"ctr c\">\u25a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then Prince, it occurred to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;This dhamma, won to by me<br\/>is deep,<br\/>difficult to see,<br\/>difficult to understand,<br\/>tranquil,<br\/>excellent,<br\/>beyond dialectic,<br\/>subtle,<br\/>intelligible to the learned.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But this is a creation<br\/>delighting in sensual pleasure,<br\/>delighted by sensual pleasure,<br\/>rejoicing in sensual pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So that for a creation<br\/>delighting in sensual pleasure,<br\/>delighted by sensual pleasure,<br\/>rejoicing in sensual pleasure,<br\/>this were a matter difficult to see,<br\/>that is to say<br\/>causal uprising by way of condition.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">This too were a matter difficult to see,<br\/>that is to say<br\/>the tranquillising of all the activities,<br\/>the renunciation of all attachment,<br\/>the destruction of craving,<br\/>dispassion,<br\/>stopping,<br\/>Nibb\u0101na.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But if I were to teach dhamma<br\/>and others were not to understand me,<br\/>that would be a weariness to me,<br\/>that would be a vexation to me.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Moreover, Prince, these verses<br\/>not heard before in the past<br\/>spontaneously occurred to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">This that through many toils I&#8217;ve won \u2014<br\/>Enough! why should I make it known?<br\/>By folk with lust and hate consumed<br\/>This dhamma is not understood.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">Leading on against the stream,<br\/>Deep, subtle, difficult to see, delicate,<br\/>Unseen &#8217;twill be by passion&#8217;s slaves<br\/>Cloaked in the murk of ignorance.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">In such wise, as I was pondering, Prince,<br\/>my mind inclined to little effort<br\/>and not teaching dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, Prince, it occurred to Brahm\u0101 Sahampati<br\/>who knew with his mind<br\/>the reasoning in my mind:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Alas, the world is lost,<br\/>alas, the world is destroyed,<br\/>inasmuch as the mind of the Tath\u0101gata,<br\/>the perfected one,<br\/>the fully awakened one,<br\/>inclines to little effort<br\/>and not to teaching dhamma.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, Prince,<br\/>as a strong man might stretch out his bent arm,<br\/>or might bend back his outstretched arm,<br\/>even so did Brahm\u0101 Sahampati,<br\/>vanishing from the Brahm\u0101-world,<br\/>become manifest before me.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, Prince, Brahm\u0101 Sahampati,<br\/>having arranged his upper robe over one shoulder,<br\/>having saluted me with joined palms,<br\/>spoke thus to me:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Lord, let the Lord teach dhamma,<br\/>let the well-farer teach dhamma;<br\/>there are beings with little dust in their eyes who;<br\/>not hearing dhamma,<br\/>are decaying,<br\/>(but if) they are learners of dhamma<br\/>they will grow.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Thus spoke Brahm\u0101 Sahampati to me, Prince;<br\/>having said this,<br\/>he further spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">&#8216;There has appeared in Magadha before thee<br\/>An unclean dhamma by (minds) with stains devised.<br\/>Open this door of deathlessness; let them hear<br\/>Dhamma awakened to by the stainless one.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">As on a crag on crest of mountain standing<br\/>A man might watch the people all around,<br\/>E&#8217;en so do thou, O Wisdom fair, ascending,<br\/>O Seer of all, the terraced heights of truth,<br\/>Look down, from grief released, upon the peoples<br\/>Sunken in grief, oppressed with birth and age.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">Arise, thou hero! Conqueror in the battle!<br\/>Thou leader of the caravan, without a debt!<br\/>Walk in the world. Let the Blessed One<br\/>Teach dhamma; they who learn will grow.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And then I, Prince, having understood Brahm\u0101&#8217;s entreaty,<br\/>out of compassion<br\/>surveyed the world with the eye of an Awakened One.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">As I, Prince, was surveying the world<br\/>with the eye of an Awakened One,<br\/>I saw beings with little dust in their eyes,<br\/>with much dust in their eyes,<br\/>with acute faculties<br\/>with dull faculties,<br\/>of good dispositions,<br\/>of bad dispositions,<br\/>docile,<br\/>indocile,<br\/>few seeing from fear<br\/>sins and the world beyond.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Even as in a pond of blue lotuses<br\/>or in a pond of red lotuses<br\/>or in a pond of white lotuses,<br\/>a few red lotuses,<br\/>a few blue lotuses,<br\/>a few white lotuses<br\/>are born in the water,<br\/>grow in the water,<br\/>do not rise above the water<br\/>but thrive while altogether immersed;<br\/>a few blue lotuses,<br\/>a few red lotuses,<br\/>a few white lotuses<br\/>are born in the water,<br\/>grow in the water<br\/>and reach the surface of the water<br\/>a few blue lotuses,<br\/>a few red lotuses,<br\/>a few white lotuses<br\/>are born in the water,<br\/>grow in the water<br\/>and stand rising out of the water,<br\/>undefiled by the water;<br\/>even so did I, Prince,<br\/>surveying the world with the eye of an Awakened One,<br\/>see beings with little dust in their eyes,<br\/>with much dust in their eyes,<br\/>with acute faculties,<br\/>with dull faculties,<br\/>of good dispositions,<br\/>of bad dispositions,<br\/>docile,<br\/>indocile,<br\/>few seeing from fear<br\/>sins and the world beyond.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, Prince, addressed Brahm\u0101 Sahampati in verses:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">Opened for those who hear are the doors of the Deathless, Brahm\u0101,<br\/>Let them give forth their faith;<br\/>Thinking of useless fatigue, Brahm\u0101, I have not preached dhamma<br\/>Sublime and excellent for men.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, Prince, Brahm\u0101 Sahampati, thinking:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;The opportunity was made by me<br\/>for the Lord to teach dhamma,&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">having greeted me,<br\/>keeping his right side towards me,<br\/>vanshed then and there.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Now, to whom should I first teach this dhamma?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Who will understand this dhamma quickly?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Indeed this \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma is learned,<br\/>experienced,<br\/>wise,<br\/>and for a long time has had little dust in his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Suppose that I were to teach dhamma first to \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma<br\/>he will understand this dhamma quickly.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then devat\u0101s having approached me,<br\/>spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Lord, \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma passed away seven days ago.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So knowledge and vision arose in me<br\/>that \u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma had passed away seven days ago.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;\u0100\u1e37\u0101ra the K\u0101l\u0101ma has suffered a great loss.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">For if he had heard this dhamma,<br\/>he would have understood it quickly.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Now, to whom could I first teach this dhamma?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Who will understand this dhamma quickly?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;This Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son, is learned,<br\/>experienced,<br\/>wise,<br\/>and for a long time has had little dust in his eyes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Suppose that I were to teach dhamma first to Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">He will understand this dhamma quickly,&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, Prince, <i>devat\u0101s,<\/i> having approached me,<br\/>spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Lord, Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son, passed away last night,&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So knowledge and vision arose in me<br\/>that Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son,<br\/>had passed away last night.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Uddaka, R\u0101ma&#8217;s son, has suffered a great loss.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">For if he had heard this dhamma,<br\/>he would have understood it quickly.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Now to whom could I first teach this dhamma?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Who will understand this dhamma quickly?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then it occurred to me, Prince:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;This group of five monks<br\/>who waited on me<br\/>when I was self-resolute in striving,<br\/>were very helpful.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Suppose that I were to teach dhamma first to this group of five monks?<\/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 where is the group of five monks staying at present?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, monks I saw with deva-vision,<br\/>purified<br\/>and surpassing that of men,<br\/>the group of five monks<br\/>staying near Benares<br\/>at Isipatana<br\/>in the deer-park.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, monks, having stayed at Uruvel\u0101<br\/>for as long as I found suiting,<br\/>set out on tour for Benares.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, monks, <a id=\"upaka\" href=\"https:\/\/obo.genaud.net\/dhamma-vinaya\/pts\/mn\/backmatter\/appendixes\/personalities\/upaka.htm\">Upaka<\/a>,<br\/>the Naked Ascetic,<br\/>saw me as I was going along the high road<br\/>between Gay\u0101 and the (Tree of) Awakening;<br\/>having seen me,<br\/>he spoke thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Your reverence,<br\/>your faculties are quite pure,<br\/>your complexion is very bright,<br\/>very clear.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">On account of whom<br\/>have you, your reverence, gone forth,<br\/>or who is your teacher,<br\/>or whose dhamma do you profess?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said,<br\/>I, monks, addressed Upaka, the Naked Ascetic,<br\/>in verses:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">&#8216;Victorious over all, omniscient am I,<br\/>Among all things undefiled,<br\/>Leaving all, through death of craving freed,<br\/>By knowing for myself, whom should I point to?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">For me there is no teacher,<br\/>One like me does not exist,<br\/>In the world with its devas<br\/>No one equals me.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">For I am perfected in the world,<br\/>A teacher supreme am I,<br\/>I alone am all-awakened,<br\/>Become cool am I, Nibb\u0101na-attained.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">To turn the dhamma-wheel<br\/>I go to Kasi&#8217;s city,<br\/>Beating the drum of deathlessness<br\/>In a world that&#8217;s blind become.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;According to what you claim, your reverence,<br\/>you ought to be victor of the unending.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4 ctr\">&#8216;Like me, they are victors indeed<br\/>Who have won destruction of the cankers;<br\/>Vanquished by me are evil things,<br\/>Therefore am I, Upaka, a victor.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said, Prince,<br\/>Upaka the Naked Ascetic, having said:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;May it be (so), your reverence&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">having shaken his head,<br\/>went off having taken a different road.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then I, Prince, walking on tour,<br\/>in due course arrived at Benares,<br\/>Isipatana,<br\/>the deer-park<br\/>and the group of five monks.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Prince, the group of five monks<br\/>saw me coming in the distance,<br\/>and seeing me<br\/>they agreed among themselves, saying:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Your reverences, this recluse Gotama is coming,<br\/>he lives in abundance,<br\/>he is wavering in his striving,<br\/>he has reverted to a life of abundance.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">He should be neither greeted,<br\/>nor stood up for,<br\/>nor should his bowl and robe be received;<br\/>all the same<br\/>a seat may be put out,<br\/>he can sit down if he wants to.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">But as I, Prince, gradually approached this group of five monks,<br\/>so this group of five monks<br\/>were not able to adhere to their own agreement;<br\/>having approached me<br\/>some received my bowl and robe,<br\/>some made a seat ready,<br\/>some brought water for washing the feet,<br\/>and they addressed me by my name<br\/>and with the epithet &#8216;your reverence.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said,<br\/>I, Prince, spoke thus to the group of five monks:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Do not, monks, address a Tath\u0101gata by his name<br\/>or by the epithet &#8216;your reverence.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Monks, the Tath\u0101gata is one perfected, a fully Self-awakened One.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Give ear, monks, the deathless is found,<br\/>I instruct, I teach dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Going along in accordance with what is enjoined,<br\/>having soon realized here and now<br\/>by your own super-knowledge<br\/>that supreme goal of the Brahm\u0101-faring<br\/>for the sake of which young men of family<br\/>rightly go forth from home<br\/>into homelessness,<br\/>you will abide in it.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said, Prince,<br\/>the group of five monks addressed me thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;But you, reverend Gotama,<br\/>did not come to a state of further-men,<br\/>to knowledge and vision befitting the Ariyans<br\/>by this conduct,<br\/>by this course,<br\/>by this practice of austerities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So how can you now<br\/>come to a state of further-men,<br\/>to knowledge and vision befitting the Ariyans<br\/>when you live in abundance<br\/>and, wavering in your striving,<br\/>revert to a life of abundance?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said, Prince, I spoke to the group of five monks thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;A Tath\u0101gata, monks,<br\/>does not live in abundance<br\/>nor, wavering in striving,<br\/>does he revert to a life of abundance.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">The Tath\u0101gata, monks,<br\/>is one perfected,<br\/>a fully Self-awakened One.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Give ear, monks,<br\/>the deathless is found,<br\/>I instruct,<br\/>I teach dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Going along in accordance with what is enjoined,<br\/>having soon realized here and now<br\/>by your own super-knowledge<br\/>that supreme goal of the Brahm\u0101-faring<br\/>for the sake of which young men of family<br\/>rightly go forth from home<br\/>into homelessness,<br\/>you will abide in it.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And a second time, Prince, the group of five monks spoke to me thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;But you, reverend Gotama,<br\/>did not come to a state of further-men,<br\/>to knowledge and vision befitting the Ariyans<br\/>by this conduct,<br\/>by this course,<br\/>by this practice of austerities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So how can you now<br\/>come to a state of further-men,<br\/>to knowledge and vision befitting the Ariyans<br\/>when you live in abundance<br\/>and, wavering in your striving,<br\/>revert to a life of abundance?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said, Prince, I spoke to the group of five monks thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;A Tath\u0101gata, monks,<br\/>does not live in abundance<br\/>nor, wavering in striving,<br\/>does he revert to a life of abundance.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">The Tath\u0101gata, monks,<br\/>is one perfected,<br\/>a fully Self-awakened One.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Give ear, monks,<br\/>the deathless is found,<br\/>I instruct,<br\/>I teach dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Going along in accordance with what is enjoined,<br\/>having soon realized here and now<br\/>by your own super-knowledge<br\/>that supreme goal of the Brahm\u0101-faring<br\/>for the sake of which young men of family<br\/>rightly go forth from home<br\/>into homelessness,<br\/>you will abide in it.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And a third time, monks, the group of five monks spoke to me thus:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;But you, reverend Gotama,<br\/>did not come to a state of further-men,<br\/>to knowledge and vision befitting the Ariyans<br\/>by this conduct,<br\/>by this course,<br\/>by this practice of austerities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">So how can you now<br\/>come to a state of further-men,<br\/>to knowledge and vision befitting the Ariyans<br\/>when you live in abundance<br\/>and, wavering in your striving,<br\/>revert to a life of abundance?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said,<br\/>I, Prince, spoke thus to the group of five monks:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;Do you allow, monks,<br\/>that I have ever spoken to you like this before?&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8216;You have not, Lord.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">The Tath\u0101gata, monks,<br\/>is one perfected,<br\/>a fully Self-awakened One.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Give ear, monks,<br\/>the deathless is found,<br\/>I instruct,<br\/>I teach dhamma.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Going along in accordance with what is enjoined,<br\/>having soon realized here and now<br\/>by your own super-knowledge<br\/>that supreme goal of the Brahm\u0101-faring<br\/>for the sake of which young men of family<br\/>rightly go forth from home<br\/>into homelessness,<br\/>you will abide in it.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And I, Prince, was able to convince the group of five monks.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Prince, I now exhorted two monks;<br\/>three monks walked for almsfood.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Whatever the three monks who had walked for alms- food brought back,<br\/>that the group of six lived on.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">And then, Prince, I exhorted three monks;<br\/>two monks walked for almsfood.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Whatever the two monks who had walked for almsfood brought back,<br\/>that the group of six lived on.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">Then, Prince, the group of five monks,<br\/>being thus exhorted,<br\/>thus instructed by me,<br\/>soon realising here and now<br\/>by their own super-knowledge<br\/>that matchless goal of the Brahma-faring<br\/>for the sake of which young men of family<br\/>rightly go forth from home into homelessness,<br\/>entering on it abided in it.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">When this had been said,<br\/>Prince Bodhi spoke thus to the Lord:<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;After how long, revered sir,<br\/>does a monk<br\/>taking the Tath\u0101gata as a leader,<br\/>and having by his own super-knowledge<br\/>realized here and now<br\/>that matchless goal of the Brahma-faring<br\/>for the sake of which young men of family<br\/>rightly go forth from home into homelessness,<br\/>entering on it, abide in it?&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">&#8220;Well then, Prince,<br\/>I will ask you a question about this in return.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">As it may please you,<br\/>so should you answer it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"f4\">What do you think about this, Prince?<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<p
