ud5.3:4.2 “Who here is capable of understanding the teaching?”
ud5.3:4.3 He saw Suppabuddha sitting in the assembly,
ud5.3:4.4 and thought,
ud5.3:4.5 “He is capable of understanding the teaching.”
ud5.3:4.6 He gave a step by step talk especially for Suppabuddha
ud5.3:4.7 on giving, ethical conduct, and heaven. He revealed the drawbacks of sensual pleasures, so sordid and corrupt, and the benefit of renunciation.
ud5.3:4.8 When the Buddha knew that Suppabuddha’s mind was ready, pliable, rid of hindrances, elated, and confident he revealed the special teaching of the Buddhas:
ud5.3:4.9 suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.
ud5.3:4.10 Just as a clean cloth rid of stains would properly absorb dye,
ud5.3:4.11 in that very seat the stainless, immaculate vision of the Dhamma arose in Suppabuddha:
ud5.3:4.12 “Everything that is liable to arise is liable to cease.”
