At that time, a large number of local monks, after the rainy season locally finished, immediately came to the place where, after he came, bowed to him and sat down. The Blessed One speaks to those who are sitting on one side:

At that time, Lord Sariputta sitting away from the Buddha. Venerable Sariputta thought, "Happily, Punna Mantaniputta, the happiest man is Punna Mantaniputta, who has been praised by his peers in front of the Master. The Master accepts, maybe we will meet with Punna Mantaniputta, where in a while, there may be a conversation with the Venerable Master. "

He stayed in Rajagaha for a long time until he was satisfied, then departed for Savatthi; He went on his way and came to Savatthi. Here, the Blessed One resides in Savatthi, in Jetavana, the garden of Anathapindika.

Devotee Punna Mantaniputta heard: "The Blessed One came to Savatthi, staying in Savatthi, in Jetavana, the garden of Anathapindika." Then Phat Punna Mantaniputta reconsidered sitting, holding the bowl, depart for Savatthi. The sequel went to Savatthi, Jetavana, Anathapindika's garden, to the Blessed One, after arriving, bowed to the Blessed One and sat down. The Buddha gave Sermon to Punna Mantaniputta sitting on one side, encouraging, exhilarating, making happy. Punna Mantaniputta, after being preached by the Blessed One, encourages, exalts, exalts, prays the teachings of the Blessed One, from the sitting up, bowing to the Blessed One, the right hand about him, from dumbass to Andhavana for lunch break.

Then another bhikkhu to Sariputta, after his arrival, said to Sariputta: "Sage Sariputta, Sage always praises Bhagavan Punna Mantaniputta, who was praised by the Buddha. , make the exhilaration, make joy, greet the word of the Buddha taught from the seat to stand up, bowing to the Buddha, the right side toward him, from the sun go to Andhavana for lunch break.

Then Sariputta hurried to bring the device, following the back of Punna Mantaniputta, headed toward the front (to track). Then Punna Mantaniputta went into the forest of Andhavana, and took a nap under a tree. Sariputta, after going into the Andhavana forest, sits under a tree.

Then, in the afternoon, Venerable Sariputta from monkhood stand up, to the place of the Prophet Punna Mantaniputta, after speaking with Phra Punna Mantaniputta the greetings, inquiries, social and sit down. Sitting down, Sariputta said to Phra Punna Mantaniputta:

Sage replied "Not so." So, Sage, for what purpose, living virtue under the instruction of the Exalted?

When asked" is the mind pure ...? ... must pure bar ...? ... the purity of the purity ...? ... is the path of pure knowledge ...? ... the pure knowledge of religion is ...? ... must be pure knowledge ...? ... What is this thing besides the dharmas before the Nirvana? "The sage replied:" That is not so. "Sage, so the meaning of this word must be understood. To

- Sermon, if the Buddha declared the pure world is in front of Bat-nibbana, he also declared the front of Bat-nibbana as equal with the previous Bat-nirvana. Sage, if the Buddha declared pure mind ... Sage, if the Sun declared the net bar ... The sage, if the Buddha declared the purity of the purity ... Sage, if the Sun declared Sage, if the Sun declared the pure knowledge of meditation ... Sage, if the Buddha declared pure knowledge is the front of Bat-nibbana, he It also claims to be in front of Bat-nibbana as being equal to the pre-Bat-nirvana. Sage, and if the Buddha declared anything but the French is the front of the Banshikir, the ordinary people can Bat-nibbana, because this Sage, ordinary people are outside the French.

Sage, I will give the Sage an example, here, some wise, for example to understand the meaning of speech. Sage, like Pasenadi of Kosala while in Savatthi, had an emergency job in Saketa, and seven carriages were set up for the king between Savatthi and Saketa. Sage Pasenadi of Kosala, from the inner city exit Savatthi, climbed to the first station, and asked the first station to reach the second station; Quit the first station, climb the second station, get the second station to the third station; Leave the second bus station ... to the fourth station; Leave the third bus stop ... get to the fifth bus stop, get off the fourth bus stop, climb the fifth bus stop, get the fifth bus stop to the sixth bus stop; Leave the fifth station, climb the sixth bus station, get the sixth bus station, get to the seventh bus station;abandoned the sixth bus station, climbed the seventh bus station, Thanks Saturday bus station to reach Saketa, at the inner city. When the king arrives at the city gate, ministers near the gods, relatives and blood as follows: - Dai Dai King is with this car station, you go from Savatthi to Saketa in the inner city? Sage, Kosala Pasenadi king how to answer the new call the correct answer?

"Sage, the king of Pasenadi of Kosala must answer like this to answer correctly:" Here, while I was in Savatthi, there was emergency work in Saketa, and seven stations were arranged. Let us, between Savatthi and Saketa, exit from the inner city out of Savatthi and climb onto the first station, and from the first station, we will reach the second station and get off the first station. second vehicle, and thanks to the second bus station, we get to the third bus station, abandon the second bus station ... to the fourth bus station, abandon the third bus station ... to the fifth bus station leaving the fourth bus station ... getting off the fifth bus station, climbing up the sixth bus station, taking the sixth bus station to the seventh bus stop; ... climb the seventh car station, thanks to the car station Saturday, I came to Saketa, in the inner city. " Sage,

Likewise, this Sage, the pure world only purpose (attainable) mind pure; pure mind only purpose (achieve) pure net; pure net just for the purpose (to achieve) the purity of the purity; The purity of purity is only the goal (achieve) the pure path of pure knowledge; The pure path of pure knowledge only has the purpose (achieve) pure knowledge direct knowledge; Pure meditation knowledge only purpose (gaining) pure knowledge; pure knowledge only goal (gaining) the front of Bat-nirvana. The Sage, living under the guidance of the Blessed One is for the purpose of the front of Bat-nibbana.

When said, Sariputta said to Phra Punna Mantaniputta:

- What is your name? And how do your peers know about the author?

- Sage, my name is Upatissa, and my accomplices know me Sariputta.

- I am discussing with the disciple who is considered equal to the Master without being aware of Sariputta. If we were to know Sariputta, we would not say so much. It's so, Sage! What a miracle, sage! The in-depth questions were answered one by one, because a disciple heard a lot, knew the teachings of the Master. And that disciple is Venerable Sariputta. It is a happy change for the peers!The happy feet for the peers ... to be visited, to be close to the Lord Sariputta! If the conspirators of Sariputta on the head with a roll of cloth to be visited, be close, then happy for them, so happy feet for them! It was so happy for us, the happy feet for us to visit,
