Early Monastic Buddhism v1.c13.s5.2

v1.c13.s5.2

In the *Rāhulovādasutta*, Buddha is seen instructing Rāhula how in deed, word, and thought one can make himself pure by *paccavekkhana* (examination and introspection), because he observed that Rāhula was lacking in self-control. When, however, he made some progress in self-control, he was led gradually to realise the *anicca-bhāva* (impermanence).
