mn79:8.1 “Well sir, I can’t even recall with features and details what I’ve undergone in this incarnation.
BAGIAN 8
mn79:8.2 How should I possibly recollect my many kinds of past lives with features and details, like the Buddha?
mn79:8.3 For I can’t even see a mud-goblin right now.
mn79:8.4 How should I possibly, with clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, see sentient beings passing away and being reborn, like the Buddha?
mn79:8.5 But then the Buddha told me,
mn79:8.6 ‘Nevertheless, Udāyī, leave aside the first beginning and the final end.
mn79:8.7 I shall teach you the Dhamma:
mn79:8.8 “When this exists, this comes to be; due to the arising of this, this arises.
mn79:8.9 When this doesn’t exist, this doesn’t come to be; due to the cessation of this, this ceases.”’ But that is even more unclear to me.
mn79:8.10 Perhaps I might satisfy the Buddha by answering a question about my own denomination.”
