Providing for partners and children, young men acquire wealth. Do the Buddha\u2019s bidding, you won\u2019t regret it. Having quickly washed your feet, sit in a discreet place to meditate. Devoted to serenity of heart, do the Buddha\u2019s bidding.\u201d After hearing her words, the instructions of Pa\u1e6d\u0101c\u0101r\u0101, they washed their feet and retired to a discreet place. Devoted to serenity of heart, they did the Buddha\u2019s bidding. In the first watch of the night, they recollected their past lives. In the middle watch of the night, they purified their clairvoyance. In the last watch of the night, they shattered the mass of darkness. They rose and paid homage at her feet: \u201cWe have done your bidding; we shall abide honoring you, as the Thirty gods honor Indra, undefeated in battle. Masters of the three knowledges, <j>we are free of defilements.\u201d That is how thirty senior nuns declared their enlightenment in the presence of Pa\u1e6d\u0101c\u0101r\u0101.","title":"Thirty Nuns","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":160}
