Then the nun S\u012bsupac\u0101l\u0101 robed up in the morning \u2026 and sat at the root of a tree for the day\u2019s meditation. Then M\u0101ra the Wicked went up to S\u012bsupac\u0101l\u0101 and said to her, \u201cNun, whose creed do you approve of?\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t approve anyone\u2019s creed, sir.\u201d \u201cIn whose name did you shave your head? You look like an ascetic, but you don\u2019t approve any creed. Why do you wander as if lost?\u201d \u201cFollowers of other creeds are confident in their views. But I don\u2019t approve their teaching, for they\u2019re no experts in the Dhamma. But there is one born in the Sakyan clan, the unrivaled Buddha, vanquisher of all, dispeller of M\u0101ra, everywhere undefeated, everywhere freed, and unattached, the Clear-eyed One sees all. He has attained the end of all deeds, freed with the ending of attachments. That Blessed One is my Teacher, and I approve his instruction.\u201d Then M\u0101ra the Wicked, thinking, \u201cThe nun S\u012bsupac\u0101l\u0101 knows me!\u201d miserable and sad, vanished right there.","title":"With S\u012bsupac\u0101l\u0101","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":167}
