MN 89

Dhammacetiyasutta

Shrines to the Teaching

Majjhima Nikāya · Terj. Bhikkhu Sujato

mn89:10.1 “Sir, I infer about the Buddha from the teaching:

mn89:10.2 ‘The Blessed One is a fully awakened Buddha. The teaching is well explained. The Saṅgha is practicing well.’

mn89:10.3 It happens, sir, that I see some ascetics and brahmins leading the spiritual life only for a limited period: ten, twenty, thirty, or forty years.

mn89:10.4 Some time later—nicely bathed and anointed, with hair and beard dressed—they amuse themselves, supplied and provided with the five kinds of sensual stimulation.

mn89:10.5 But here I see the mendicants leading the spiritual life entirely full and pure as long as they live, to their last breath.

mn89:10.6 I don’t see any other spiritual life elsewhere so full and pure.

mn89:10.7 That’s why I infer this about the Buddha from the teaching:

mn89:10.8 ‘The Blessed One is a fully awakened Buddha. The teaching is well explained. The Saṅgha is practicing well.’
