Evaṁ vutte te bhikkhū tuṇhī ahesuṁ.<br />

After this was said those monks were silent.<br />

The Sixth Chapter for Recitation - 214<br />

Dutiyam-pi kho Bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:<br />

For a second time the Gracious One addressed the monks, (saying):<br />

“Siyā kho pana bhikkhave ekabhikkhussa pi kaṅkhā vā vimati vā<br />

“It may be, monks, that for one of the monks there is doubt or confusion<br />

Buddhe vā Dhamme vā Saṅghe vā Magge vā paṭipadāya vā.<br />

about the Buddha, or about the Teaching, or about the Community, or about the Path, or<br />

about the practice.<br />

Pucchatha bhikkhave mā pacchā vippaṭisārino ahuvattha:<br />

Ask, monks, do not be regretful later (thinking):<br />

‘Sammukhībhūto no Satthā ahosi<br />

‘The Teacher was face to face with us<br />

na mayaṁ sikkhimhā Bhagavantaṁ sammukhā paṭipucchitun.’”-ti<br />

and we didn’t ask the Gracious One directly about the training.’”<br />
