[dailysutta]

With clairvoyance that is purified and surpasses the human, I survey the entire galaxy

[dailysutta]

Having seven qualities Sāriputta has mastered his mind and is not mastered by it.

[dailysutta]

Sir, in this case I don’t rely on faith in the Buddha’s claim…

[dailysutta]

Those who have good convictions come together and converge with those who have good convictions.

[dailysutta]

An intelligent, learned person, steady in ethics, devoted to serenity of heart—let them stand at the head.

[dailysutta]

[dailysutta]

‘But my darling, if you go forth from the lay life to homelessness, please be like Sāriputta and Moggallāna.’

[dailysutta]

But what’s hard to do for someone who has gone forth?
