v2.c36.3805

After death, Sudhammā was born in Tāvatiṃsa, and, because of her merit in the past, there came into being for her Sudhammā, the Moot Hall of the Devas, nine hundred leagues in extent.¹ There the Devas hold their meetings on the eighth day of each month, or when the Dhamma is preached, and also all their important festivals and gatherings.² All Buddhas preach the Abhidhamma in the Sudhammā-hall. It is said³ that every devaloka has a Sudhammā-sabhā; this title is often used in comparisons to denote a fine hall.
