The first⁵ was preached at the Migārāmātupāsāda and takes the form of a discussion with Sāḷha, Migāra’s grandson, and Rohaṇa, Pekkhuṇiya’s grandson—on greed, covetousness, malice and delusion, and the benefits following their destruction. The second discourse is a sermon addressed to the monks at the waiting-hall at Jetavana. It is said that the Buddha was attracted to the spot by the sound of Nandaka’s preaching, and, finding the door locked, stood for a long time outside, listening.⁶ When his back began to ache he knocked at the door, and, having entered, told Nandaka that he had been waiting until the end of his discourse to speak to him. Nandaka expressed his regret that he should have kept the Buddha waiting and pleaded ignorance of his presence. The Buddha, conscious of Nandaka’s remorse, went on to praise his sermon, and said that the preaching of such sermons was the duty of all pious monks. When the Buddha left, Nandaka resumed his sermon, and told his audience of the five results of listening to the Dhamma in due season. - [Previous: v2.c26.242](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26.242) - [Next: v2.c26.244](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26.244) - [Up: v2.c26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26.243](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c26.243) · Pramāṇa
