  1. …There are also some probably unrealistic elements in the story that Ānanda recited the entire prose Canon at the First Council: photographic memory of an encyclopaedia-sized text over 45 years, dramatically attaining Arahanthood the night before the Council, and the flight and keyhole miracles.

  5. I can't recommend highly enough the entire set of verses from #Arahant Sumedhā. It's the longest set in the #Therigatha recounting her attempt to get her parents to allow her to ordain. In the process she does an amazing critique of lay life specifically and #samsara generally.

    Today's reading is just three verses where she explains the cause of her connection to the Buddha's teachings in this life.

  7. In today's #sutta, we get to be present for a conversation between the #Buddha and #Arahant #Sariputta.

    We know how important #giving and #generosity is to #Buddhist practice. We also know how much the #mind affects the #karma of the actions that we do. In this sutta the Buddha explains how results differ depending on the attitude we have when giving.
