mn75:25.1 “I am quite confident that the worthy Gotama
mn75:25.2 is capable of teaching me so that I can rise from this seat cured of blindness.”
mn75:25.3 “Well then, Māgaṇḍiya, you should associate with true persons.
mn75:25.4 When you associate with true persons, you will hear the true teaching.
mn75:25.5 When you hear the true teaching, you’ll practice in line with the teaching.
mn75:25.6 When you practice in line with the teaching, you’ll know and see for yourself:
mn75:25.7 ‘These are diseases, boils, and darts.
mn75:25.8 And here is where diseases, boils, and darts cease without remainder.’
mn75:25.9 When my grasping ceases, continued existence ceases. When continued existence ceases, rebirth ceases. When rebirth ceases, old age and death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress cease.
mn75:25.10 That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.”
