The Buddha said to him, \u201cMaybe I\u2019ll teach Dhamma in brief, maybe in detail, maybe both in brief and in detail. But it\u2019s hard to find anyone who understands.\u201d \u201cNow is the time, Blessed One! Now is the time, Holy One! Let the Buddha teach Dhamma in brief, in detail, and both in brief and in detail. There will be those who understand the teaching!\u201d \u201cSo, S\u0101riputta, you should train like this: \u2018There\u2019ll be no I-making, mine-making, or underlying tendency to conceit for this conscious body; and no I-making, mine-making, or underlying tendency to conceit externally for all signs; and we\u2019ll live having achieved the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where I-making, mine-making, and the underlying tendency to conceit are no more.\u2019 That\u2019s how you should train. When a mendicant has no I-making, mine-making, or underlying tendency to conceit for this conscious body; and no I-making, mine-making, or underlying tendency to conceit externally for all signs; and they live having attained the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where I-making, mine-making, and the underlying tendency to conceit are no more\u2014 they\u2019re called a mendicant who has cut off craving, cast off the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering. And S\u0101riputta, this is what I was referring to in \u2018The Way to the Far Shore\u2019, in \u2018The Questions of Udaya\u2019 when I said: \u2018The giving up of both sensual desires and displeasures, the casting aside of dullness, and the prevention of remorse; pure equanimity and mindfulness, preceded by investigation of principles\u2014 this, I declare, is liberation by enlightenment, the smashing of ignorance.\u2019\u201d","title":"With S\u0101riputta","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":285}
