Then Venerable B\u0101huna went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him: \u201cSir, how many things has the Realized One escaped from, so that he lives detached, liberated, with mind free of boundaries?\u201d \u201cB\u0101huna, the Realized One has escaped from ten things, so that he lives detached, liberated, with mind free of boundaries.
