BAGIAN 32
mn91:32.1 Then Brahmāyu thought:
mn91:32.2 “My request has been granted.
mn91:32.3 Should I ask him about
mn91:32.4 what is beneficial in this life or the next?”
mn91:32.5 Then he thought,
mn91:32.6 “I’m well versed in the benefits that apply to this life,
mn91:32.7 and others ask me about this.
mn91:32.8 Why don’t I ask the ascetic Gotama about the benefit that specifically applies to lives to come?”
mn91:32.9 So Brahmāyu addressed the Buddha in verse:
mn91:32.10 “How do you become a brahmin?
mn91:32.11 And how do you become a knowledge master?
mn91:32.12 How a master of the three knowledges?
mn91:32.13 And how is one called a scholar?
mn91:32.14 How do you become a perfected one?
mn91:32.15 And how a consummate one?
mn91:32.16 How do you become a sage?
mn91:32.17 And how is one declared to be awakened?”
