16.p2
It was then that a certain monk came to the Buddha. [He bowed his head at the Buddha’s feet and withdrew to stand to one side. He then said, “It’d be good, Bhagavān, if you would briefly explain the Dharma for me now. After hearing the Dharma, I’ll go alone to a quiet place and cultivate it earnestly. After cultivating it earnestly, I’ll again contemplate: ‘A good son leaves home, cuts off his hair and beard, puts on the Dharma robes, believes at home in being homeless, and leaves home to train on the path. That’s the way he reaches the ultimate and unsurpassed religious practice. He’ll realize in the present life: “My births have been ended, the religious practice has been established, and the task has been accomplished. I myself know that I won’t be subject to a later existence.”’”]
