Then Venerable S\u0101riputta robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered S\u0101vatth\u012b for alms. Then it occurred to him, \u201cIt\u2019s too early to wander for alms in S\u0101vatth\u012b. Why don\u2019t I visit the monastery for the wanderers of other religions?\u201d Then he went to the monastery for the wanderers of other religions and exchanged greetings with the wanderers there. When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side. Now at that time while those wanderers of other religions were sitting together this discussion came up among them: \u201cReverends, no one who dies with residue is exempt from hell, the animal realm, or the ghost realm. They\u2019re not exempt from places of loss, bad places, the underworld.\u201d S\u0101riputta neither approved nor rejected that statement of the wanderers of other religions. He rose from his seat, thinking, \u201cI will learn the meaning of this statement from the Buddha himself.\u201d Then S\u0101riputta wandered for alms in S\u0101vatth\u012b. After the meal, on his return from almsround, he went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened. \u201cS\u0101riputta, these foolish, incompetent wanderers following other religions: who are they to know whether someone has residue or not? There are these nine individuals who, dying with residue, are exempt from hell, the animal realm, and the ghost realm. They\u2019re exempt from places of loss, bad places, the underworld. What nine? There\u2019s an individual who has fulfilled ethics and immersion, but has limited wisdom. With the ending of the five lower fetters they\u2019re extinguished between one life and the next. This is the first individual \u2026 Furthermore, there\u2019s an individual who has fulfilled ethics and immersion, but has limited wisdom. With the ending of the five lower fetters they\u2019re extinguished upon landing. This is the second individual \u2026 With the ending of the five lower fetters they\u2019re extinguished without extra effort. This is the third individual \u2026 With the ending of the five lower fetters they\u2019re extinguished with extra effort. This is the fourth individual \u2026 With the ending of the five lower fetters they head upstream, going to the Akani\u1e6d\u1e6dha realm. This is the fifth individual \u2026 Furthermore, there\u2019s an individual who has fulfilled ethics, but has limited immersion and wisdom. With the ending of three fetters, and the weakening of greed, hate, and delusion, they\u2019re a once-returner. They come back to this world once only, then make an end of suffering. This is the sixth individual \u2026 Furthermore, there\u2019s an individual who has fulfilled ethics, but has limited immersion and wisdom. With the ending of three fetters, they\u2019re a one-seeder. They will be reborn just one time in a human existence, then make an end of suffering. This is the seventh individual \u2026 Furthermore, there\u2019s an individual who has fulfilled ethics, but has limited immersion and wisdom. With the ending of three fetters, they go from family to family. They will transmigrate between two or three families and then make an end of suffering. This is the eighth individual \u2026 Furthermore, there\u2019s an individual who has fulfilled ethics, but has limited immersion and wisdom. With the ending of three fetters, they have at most seven rebirths. They will transmigrate at most seven times among gods and humans and then make an end of suffering. This is the ninth individual \u2026 These foolish, incompetent wanderers following other religions: who are they to know whether someone has residue or not? These are the nine individuals who, dying with residue, are exempt from hell, the animal realm, and the ghost realm. They\u2019re exempt from places of loss, bad places, the underworld. Up until now, S\u0101riputta, I have not felt the need to give this exposition of the teaching to the monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen. Why is that? For I didn\u2019t want those who heard it to introduce negligence. However, I have spoken it in order to answer your question.\u201d","title":"With Residue","tradition":"Anguttara Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":671}
