Thus have I heard.

One time Bhagavan at Campa, on the shores of Lake Gaggara mass with monks. Pessa Then his son trained elephants and wandering ascetic Kandaraka come to Bhagavan at Pessa, son elephant trainer after arrival, bowed and sat down on one side. And wanderer Kandaraka speak with Bhagavan's words inquire, after talking to the words and then ask friends stood aside. Wanderer Kandaraka stand aside, after looking around we monks are keeping silent, very silent, instant lord:

Venerable Gotama, the position Arhat, Enlightenment in the past, do not know you Bhagavan had an amazing we monks so, you did right feet guidance, as far We monks were Venerable Gotama guide right feet?

Kandaraka this, the position Arhat, Enlightenment in the future, the Exalted position they would have a wonderful monks so, you did right feet guidance, as far we billion- parade was guiding me right feet.

This Kandaraka, in them monks, there is even the monks are level Arhat, the contraband was seeking, a chronic practice, the work should have been done, has put the burden down, was successful Ideally, Organic took advantage except fetters, was freed by right knowledge. Kandaraka This, in our Monks, there are monks are useful learning degree, discipline persistence, perseverance virtue, discerning, wise happy now, living with clever mind abides four foundations of mindfulness. Which four? This Kandaraka Here, monks living body in the body shop, zealous awareness, mindfulness, to convince the world covetousness; life expectancy shop on the feeling, enthusiasm awareness, mindfulness, to convince the world covetousness; live bar consciousness and enthusiasm, awareness, mindfulness to take advantage convince the world; customary law on the legal life, enthusiasm, awareness, mindfulness, to convince the world covetousness.

To be told that, Pessa, son elephant trainer lord:

- It's rather wonderful, venerable sir! It's rather rare, venerable sir!

It's rather wonderful, venerable sir! It's rather rare, venerable sir! Buddha, the Exalted understand happiness and unhappiness of human beings while living in such a muddle, in the dregs so, in the insidious way. Buddha, confusion rather like humans.

- It is so, this Pessa! It thus is Pessa! This Pessa, confusion instead, as humans! Openness instead, like animals! Pessa this, there are four categories of people in the world are present. Which four? Here, Pessa, with his suffering people self-propelled, self-propelled concentrate their suffering. Here, Pessa, with people who act hard, specializing in mental suffering people. Here, Pessa, with his suffering people has self-propelled, self-propelled concentrate their size, medium size onion people, specialized mental suffering people. Here, Pessa, who just do not have my suffering self-propelled, self-propelled not concentrate their suffering, human suffering has no onions, no specialized mental suffering people. He did not assault his suffering, not self-propelled concentrate their suffering, not behaving suffering people, suffering people not dedicated practice, even in the current non-craving, the first President, feels cool, sense pleasures, self Stay on discounts could fall. This Pessa, four classes of people, class man, he likes the most is the mind?

- Buddha, who rated their suffering self-propelled, self-propelled concentrate its size, this sort of person you do not like the attention. Buddha, the suffering of people who practice, specialized mental suffering people, this sort of person you do not like the attention.

- Hey Pessa, why he does not like the three classes of people?

- Buddha, who rated their suffering self-propelled, self-propelled concentrate their suffering, this category was operating his suffering, his abuse, while optimistic self desire, boring pain; Therefore, I do not like the attention this sort of person. Buddha, the suffering of people who practice, specialized mental suffering people, this sort of person, onions others suffering, torment others, while others crave touch, boring pain; Therefore, I do not like the attention this sort of person. Buddha, who was self rated their pain, their suffering mindedly self-propelled, medium size onion people, specialized mental suffering people, this category was operating his suffering, torment themselves and others, while himself and others desire to communicate, boring pain; Therefore, I do not like the attention this sort of person. But lord, who did not self-propelled his suffering, not self-propelled dedicated his suffering, has not taken suffering people, suffering people not dedicated practice, such people suffer his assault, act of suffering people, even in currently no craving, the first President, feels cool, feeling optimistic feeling, ego can stay at discounts; Therefore, like the minds of this sort of person. And this, venerable sir, we have to go, we have many duties, have much work to do.

- Hey Pessa, he just does what he thinks is right time.

Then Pessa, son happy elephant trainer signal word Bhagavan teaches life, from the seat up, bowed, right hand toward his body and left.

Then Bhagavan, after Pessa, son elephant trainer departed not long, then said to the monks:

- Hey monks, Pessa, son elephant trainer who could place; Pessa, son elephant trainers who have great wisdom. This Monks, if Pessa, son elephant trainer sitting a little further, until I analyzed four categories of people more widely this time he will gather achieve many benefits.
