Sṅriputta, Ven. Mahṅ Moggallṅna, Ven. Mahṅ Kassapa, Ven. Mahṅ Kaccṅna, Ven. Mahṅ Koṭṭhita, Ven. Mahṅ Kappina, Ven. Mahṅ Cunda, Ven. Revata, Ven. ṅnanda, and other well-known elder disciples. On that occasion the elder monks were teaching & instructing. Some elder monks were teaching & instructing ten monks, some were teaching & instructing twenty monks, some were teaching & instructing thirty monks, some were teaching & instructing forty monks. The new monks, being taught & instructed by the elder monks, were discerning grand, successive distinctions. Now on that occasion—the uposatha day of the fifteenth, the full-moon night of the Pavṅraṃṅ ceremony—the Blessed One was seated in the open air surrounded by the Saṃgha of monks. Surveying the silent Saṃgha of monks, he addressed them: "Monks, I am content with this practice. I am content at heart with this practice. So arouse even more intense persistence for the attaining of the as-yet-unattained, the reaching of the as-yet-unreached, the realization of the as-yet-unrealized. I will remain right here at Sṅvatthī (for another month) through the ), # Right single quote ('â', White Water-lilyâ Month, the fourth month of the rains." The monks in the countryside heard, "The Blessed One, they say, will remain right there at Sṅvatthī through the White Water-lily Month, the fourth month of the rains." So they left for Sṅvatthī to see the Blessed One. Then the elder monks taught & instructed the new monks even more intensely. Some elder monks were teaching & instructing ten monks, some were teaching & instructing twenty monks, some were teaching & instructing thirty monks, some were teaching & instructing forty monks. The new monks, being taught & instructed by the elder monks, were discerning grand, successive distinctions. Now on that occasion—the uposatha day of the fifteenth, the full-moon night of the White Water-lily Month, the fourth month of the rains—the Blessed One was seated in the open air surrounded by the Saṃgha of monks. Surveying the silent Saṃgha of monks, he addressed them: "Monks, this assembly is free from idle chatter, devoid of idle chatter, and is established on pure heartwood: Such is this Saṃgha of monks, such is this assembly. The sort of assembly that is deserving of gifts, deserving of hospitality, deserving of offerings, deserving of respect, an incomparable field of merit for the world: Such is this Saṃgha of monks, such is this assembly. The sort of assembly to which a small gift, when given, becomes great, and a great gift greater: Such is this Saṃgha of monks, such is this assembly. The sort of assembly that is rare to see in the world: Such is this Saṃgha of monks, such is this assembly—the sort of assembly that it would be worth traveling for leagues, taking along provisions, in order to see. "In this Saṃgha of monks there are monks who are arahants, whose effluents are ended, who have reached fulfillment, done the task, laid down the burden, attained the true goal, laid to waste the fetter of becoming, and who are released through right gnosis: Such are the monks in this Saṃgha of monks. "In this Saṃgha of monks there are monks who, with the wasting away of the five lower fetters, are due to arise spontaneously (in the Pure Abodes), there to be totally unbound, destined never again to return from that world: Such are the monks in this Saṃgha of monks. "In this Saṃgha of monks there are monks who, with the wasting away of (the first) three fetters, and with the attenuation of passion, aversion, & delusion, are once-returners, who—on returning only once more to this world—will make an ending to stress: Such are the monks in this Saṃgha of monks.
