That\u2019s how I became known as \u201cReed-breaker\u201d. But now it\u2019s not appropriate for me to break reeds with my hands. The training rules have been laid down for us by Gotama the renowned. Previously, I, Sarabha\u1e45ga, didn\u2019t see the disease in its entirety. But now I have seen the disease, as I\u2019ve practiced what was taught <j>by he who is beyond the gods. Gotama traveled by that direct route; the same path traveled by Vipass\u012b, by Sikh\u012b, Vessabh\u016b, Kakusandha, Ko\u1e47\u0101gamana, and Kassapa. These seven Buddhas have plunged into the ending, free of craving, without grasping, having become Dhamma, unaffected. They have taught this Dhamma out of compassion for living creatures\u2014 suffering, origin, path, and cessation, the ending of suffering. In these four noble truths, the endless suffering of transmigration finally comes to an end. When the body breaks up, and life comes to an end, there are no future lives; I\u2019m everywhere well freed.","title":"Sarabha\u1e45ga","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":168}
