ud4.7:0.1Heartfelt Sayings 4.7

ud4.7:0.2With Sāriputta

ud4.7:1.1So I have heard.

ud4.7:1.2At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

ud4.7:1.3Now at that time Venerable Sāriputta was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, with his body straight. He was of few wishes, content, secluded, aloof, energetic, dedicated to the higher mind.

ud4.7:2.1The Buddha saw him meditating there.

ud4.7:3.1Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:

ud4.7:4.1“A sage of higher consciousness, diligent,

ud4.7:4.2training in the ways of sagacity:

ud4.7:4.3there are no sorrows for the unaffected,

ud4.7:4.4calm and ever mindful.”
