dn25:21.1 Knowing this, the Buddha said to him,
BAGIAN 21
dn25:21.2 “Is it really true, Nigrodha—are those your words?”
dn25:21.3 “It’s true, sir, those are my words. It was foolish, stupid, and unskillful of me.”
dn25:21.4 “What do you think, Nigrodha?
dn25:21.5 Have you heard that wanderers of the past who were elderly and senior, the tutors of tutors, said that
dn25:21.6 when the perfected ones, the fully awakened Buddhas of the past came together, they made an uproar, a colossal racket as they sat and talked about all kinds of low topics,
dn25:21.8 like you do in your denomination these days?
dn25:21.9 Or did they say that the Buddhas frequented remote lodgings in the wilderness and the forest that are quiet and still, far from the madding crowd, remote from human settlements, and fit for retreat, like I do these days?”
dn25:21.10 “I have heard that wanderers of the past who were elderly and senior, said that
dn25:21.11 when the perfected ones, the fully awakened Buddhas of the past came together, they didn’t make an uproar,
dn25:21.13 like I do in my denomination these days.
dn25:21.14 They said that the Buddhas of the past frequented remote lodgings in the wilderness, like the Buddha does these days.”
dn25:21.15 “Nigrodha, you are a sensible and mature man. Did it not occur to you:
dn25:21.16 ‘The Blessed One is awakened, tamed, serene, crossed over, and quenched. And he teaches Dhamma for awakening, taming, serenity, crossing over, and extinguishment’?”
