MN 97

Dhanañjānisutta

With Dhanañjāni

Majjhima Nikāya · Terj. Bhikkhu Sujato

mn97:5.1 When Dhanañjāni had finished breakfast he went to Sāriputta and exchanged greetings with him.

mn97:5.2 When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side. Sāriputta said to him,

mn97:5.3 “I hope you’re diligent, Dhanañjāni?”

mn97:5.4 “How can I possibly be diligent, worthy Sāriputta? I have to provide for my mother and father, my wives and children, and my bondservants and workers. And I have to make the proper offerings to friends and colleagues, relatives and kin, guests, ancestors, deities, and king. And then this body must also be fattened and built up.”
