4: The Discourse about Sàriputta
Thus I heard:
at one time the Gracious One was dwelling near Sàvatthã, in Jeta's Wood, at Anàthapiõóika's monastery.
Then at that time venerable Sàriputta was sitting not far away from the Gracious One, after folding his legs crosswise, and setting his body straight, and was attending to mindfulness at the front.
The Gracious One saw that venerable Sàriputta was sitting not far away, after folding his legs crosswise, and setting his body straight, and was attending to mindfulness at the front.
Then the Gracious One, having understood the significance of it, on that occasion uttered this exalted utterance:
ßJust like a mountain rock, unagitated, well established,
So is the monk, through the destruction of delusion - like a mountain he does not shake.û
