Bāhiya.—A monk. He is said to have come to the Buddha asking for a teaching in brief and the Buddha told him to dwell on the impermanence of the senses and of sense-objects. Profiting by the lesson, Bāhiya dwelt apart and, putting forth effort, soon became an arahant.¹ It is perhaps the same monk—called Bāhiya or Bāhika—who is mentioned elsewhere² as asking for the Buddha for a lesson and being told to meditate on the four \*satipaṭṭhānas\*. This contemplation led to arahantship. - [Previous: v2.c29.321](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.321) - [Next: v2.c29.323](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.323) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.322](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v2.c29.322) · Pramāṇa
