Jetavana Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna


 * "This Jeta's grove, home of many sages,
 * And inhabited by the king of righteousness, arouses joy in me."


 * "Beings who have to die, are purified by actions, knowledge, righteousness,
 * Virtues and noble livelihood, not by birth or wealth
 * Therefore the wise for their own welfare
 * Penetrate into the Teaching and purify their selves
 * In wisdom, virtues and appeasement like Sàriputta,
 * Of those bhikkhus who have crossed over, he is the foremost."
