Now at that time a certain mendicant who had completed the rainy season residence in S\u0101vatth\u012b arrived at Kapilavatthu on some business. The Sakyans of Kapilavatthu heard about this. They went to that mendicant, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him, \u201cSir, we hope that the Buddha is healthy and strong.\u201d \u201cHe is, respectable sirs.\u201d \u201cAnd we hope that S\u0101riputta and Moggall\u0101na are healthy and strong.\u201d \u201cThey are.\u201d \u201cAnd we hope that the mendicant Sa\u1e45gha is healthy and strong.\u201d \u201cIt is.\u201d \u201cBut sir, during this rains residence did you hear and learn anything in the presence of the Buddha?\u201d \u201cRespectable sirs, I heard and learned this in the presence of the Buddha: \u2018There are fewer mendicants who realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom, and live having realized it with their own insight in this very life due to the ending of defilements. There are more mendicants who, having ended the five lower fetters, are reborn spontaneously, and will be extinguished there, not liable to return from that world.\u2019 In addition, I heard and learned this in the presence of the Buddha: \u2018There are fewer mendicants who, having ended the five lower fetters, are reborn spontaneously, and will be extinguished there, not liable to return from that world. There are more mendicants who, with the ending of three fetters, and the weakening of greed, hate, and delusion, are once-returners, who come back to this world once only, then make an end of suffering.\u2019 In addition, I heard and learned this in the presence of the Buddha: \u2018There are fewer mendicants who, with the ending of three fetters, and the weakening of greed, hate, and delusion, are once-returners, who come back to this world once only, then make an end of suffering. There are more mendicants who, with the ending of three fetters are stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, assured, destined for awakening.\u2019\u201d","title":"One Who Completed the Rains","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":336}
