For discharge, said Venerable Gotama, the law Thursday, the Brahmin advocated this approach works merit, attained charity. Dear Venerable Gotama, the status Brahmin years advocated this approach works merit, attained charity. Here, Venerable Gotama have to say?

- Why, this Young Brahmin? There a Teacher in the Brahmin, a Great Teacher, until seven lifetime Sun engineers, Great Teacher, he said: "After the witness himself with the upper tri mind, I uttered allergic results This year's independent "?
- No, the Venerable Gotama.
- Why, this Young Brahmin? The ancient monks in the Brahmin, even the composition of the mantra, the mantra that your ancient mantras are sung, is recited, is reciter, and today the Brahmins also sing, recite and teach as you Atthaka, Vamaka, Vamadeva, Vessamita, Yamataggi, Angirasa, Bharadvaja, Vesettha, Kassapa, Bhagu, he said the following: "After the tri insight Hotel with a rooftop, we said theoretical results of five independent casual It "?
- No, the Venerable Gotama.
- So this Young Brahmin, there is a Brahmin in the position Brahmin spoke as follows: "After the upper tri location insight, I uttered Results of five independent casual here.

The ancient monks in the Brahmin status, compose your mantra ... You do not have a stated as follows: "After the upper tri location insight, we uttered the casual mature fruit of years here. " For example, the Youth Brahmin, a chain of blind men hug each other back, who previously did not see, the middle nor see, nor the last to see; also, the Youth Brahmin, we think of the word Brahmin become like a blind string, the head does not see, the middle not seen, nor the last to see.

Then Bhagavan told as follows:

- Dear Venerable Gotama, even the Brahmin legal advocates working in blessing, this friendly acquisition. Here, the Brahmin town legal undertakings (caga) blessed work, have obtained good results in major newspapers.

Here, a large altar was a Brahmin set up and have two Brahmin go and think as follows: "We will enjoy the modern life of your altar Brahmin with this identity ". Here, a Brahmin thought as follows: "We hope that in the dining room, we will be the best seat, the best water, the best alms dish, while your other Brahmin, in the dining room, not the best seat, the best water, the best alms dish ". Hey Young Brahmin, this event happens. The Brahmin was in the dining room can get the best seat, the best water, the best alms dish. As for the other Brahmin, in the dining room, not the best seat, the best water, the best alms dish. Place the other Brahmin thought as follows: "The Brahmin was, in the dining room, is the best seat, the best water, the best alms dish. And I, in the dining room no place The best seat, the best water, the best food alms ". He indignantly, not joy. Hey Young Brahmin, the Brahmin independent advocate what passes for this Brahmin?
