The monk Gautama truly knows nothing. An inexperienced child, he only recently departed the palace of the Śākyas, and beneath the Bodhi tree claimed of himself to have attained the knowledge of all aspects. You should know that this is false speech! Why is this so? King Agnidatta came to invite Gautama, and the offering he gave was only horse-barley; Gautama did not know it was bad, and readily accepted the invitation. Thus you should know he is not omniscient!' Furthermore, he asked Ānanda: 'How many days remain of the rainy season retreat?' Ānanda said: 'Seven days remain.' Furthermore, he asked Ānanda: 'Why are there so many sounds of crows in the Jetavana?' Ānanda said: 'Flocks of birds are fighting over food. Just seven days after he was born, his mother's life ended.' From these matters, you should know that he is a person of ill omens, and also an extremely wicked person. Why is this so? Because upon being born he caused his mother to die. Furthermore, he possesses neither compassion nor filial piety, nor makes offerings \[to his parents\]; though daily and nightly provided for before his eyes, he abandoned them instead and entered the deep mountains. He is also a person without gratitude: his father the king took Gopā in marriage for him, yet he never carried out the conjugal rites of a woman, causing Gautamī to suffer great distress. For these reasons, know that he neither knows kindness nor remembers kindness. In the monk Gautama's retinue, there is no distinction between noble and base; of his five hundred disciples, each is proclaimed foremost. Since the master has no Dharma, the disciples likewise have no practice to cultivate. Even the one who knows how to count, the monk Dabba, is proclaimed foremost; the clever and wise Śāriputra is also among them; the dull and sluggish monk Panthaka is also among them; even the nun Yaśodharā, a person of few desires, is among them; the lustful and unvirtuous woman Utpalavarṇā of Śrāvastī is also among them; even the childish and ignorant young boy Cunda is among them; even the exceedingly elderly Subhadra, one hundred and twenty years of age, is among them; even the noble and eminent Śākyas are among them; and the extremely base dung-carrier of Rājagṛha is also among them. Therefore, you should know that within Gautama's Dharma, the coarse and heterogeneous vie together to enter; there is neither noble nor base among them, and it is not worthy of reverence. Just as a great wind blows tree leaves together into one place, so too is Gautama's Buddha-dharma. Just as flocks of birds pursue the clothes and food discarded by worldly people, Gautama's retinue follows and takes them to eat. All of you people, why would you wish to invite Gautama today?" When the multitude heard this, they remained as immovable as the great earth. The great assembly thirsted after and looked up to the Tathāgata; though hearing the six teachers speak like this, their minds were like diamond, without increase or decrease, thirsting after and looking up to the Tathāgata as the thirsty crave drink. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3.7) - [Next: 3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3.9) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156~en-mt.3.8) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [ཐབས་མཁས་པ་ཆེན་པོ་སངས་རྒྱས་དྲིན་ལན་བསབ་པའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.tibet.kangyur.mdo_sde.353.3.4) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.156.3.8) · Pramāṇa
