26: The Chapter about Brahmins – 318<br />

Developing calm and insight<br />

During a visit by thirty monks who had come in from the<br />

countryside, Ven. Sāriputta, believing they were ready to<br />

become Arahats, asked the Buddha to explain what were the<br />

two things he had heard spoken about, and the Buddha told<br />

they were calm and insight, and exhorted the monks with this<br />

verse.<br />

384. Yadā dvayesu dhammesu pāragū hoti brāhmaṇo,<br />

athassa sabbe saṁyogā atthaṁ gacchanti jānato.<br />

When a brahmin has, through<br />

two things, crossed over, then<br />

for one who knows, all<br />

fetters are laid to rest.
