Bhaddiya Sutta
Bhaddiya (2)
Translated from the Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Sāvatthī at Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's monastery. At that time Ven. Sāriputta was — with a variety of approaches — instructing, urging, rousing, & encouraging Ven. Bhaddiya the Dwarf with Dhamma-talk to an even greater extent, as he thought that Bhaddiya was still just a learner.
The Blessed One saw that Ven. Sāriputta was — with a variety of approaches — instructing, urging, rousing, & encouraging Ven. Bhaddiya the Dwarf with Dhamma-talk to an even greater extent, as he thought that Bhaddiya was still just a learner.
Then, on realizing the significance of that, the Blessed One on that occasion exclaimed:
He has cut the cycle,
has gone away
to freedom from longing.
The dried-up stream
no longer flows.
The cycle, cut,
no longer turns.
This, just this,
is the end of stress.
