Senaka

It was so welcome for me during the Gayā spring festival to see the Awakened One teaching the supreme Dhamma. He was glorious, the tutor of a community, a leader who had realized the highest. In all the world with its gods, he was the victor of unequaled vision. A great giant, a great hero, a great light free of defilement. With the utter ending of all defilements, the Teacher fears nothing from any quarter. For a long time, sadly, I was corrupted, fettered by the bond of wrong view. That Blessed One, Senaka, released me from all ties.
