ඇත් පොකුණ_අභයගිරි විහාර සංකීර්ණය: අනුරාධපුර යුගයේදී භික්ෂුන්වහන්සේලා පැන් පහසුව සඳහා භාවිතා කල පොකුණකි

Samaññaphala Sutta is one of the masterpieces of the Pali canon. At heart, it is a comprehensive portrait of the Buddhist path of training, illustrating each stage of the training with vivid similes. In this discourse, King Ajatasatta visits the Buddha in hopes that the Buddha will bring some peace to his mind. The question he puts to the Buddha shows the limited level of his own understanding, so the Buddha patiently describes the steps of the training, beginning at a very basic level and gradually moving up, as a way of raising the king’s spiritual horizons.
