ud7.2:0.1Heartfelt Sayings 7.2

ud7.2:0.2Bhaddiya the Dwarf (2nd)

ud7.2:1.1So I have heard.

ud7.2:1.2At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

ud7.2:1.3Now at that time Venerable Sāriputta was educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring Venerable Bhaddiya the Dwarf in even more ways with a Dhamma talk, thinking that he was still a trainee.

ud7.2:2.1The Buddha saw what was happening.

ud7.2:3.1Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:

ud7.2:4.1“They’ve cut the cycle, gone to the wishless;

ud7.2:4.2the streams are dried, they flow no more.

ud7.2:4.3Cut, the cycle no longer spins.

ud7.2:4.4Just this is the end of suffering.”
