Full Moon, The Fire, and 1000 Arahants

Tathālokā Therī

 

​

Dear Dhamma friends,
 
I write to you now again, returned from retreat, under another full moon, this one the lunar anniversary of one of the Buddha's great and best known early teachings, the "Fire Sermon" or Aditta Pariyaya Sutta, the lunar anniversary of the complete enlightenment of one thousand noble ones, Arahants.  
 
Such a beautiful ending -- for the sutta ends with the ending of craving and affliction for one thousand persons, becoming Arahants in this world.
