Vertalingen

At Sāvatthī.

Seated to one side, Venerable Rādha said to the Buddha:

“Sir, they speak of ‘Māra nature’. What is of Māra nature?”

“Rādha, form is of Māra nature. Feeling, perception, choices, and consciousness are of Māra nature.

Seeing this … They understand: ‘… there is nothing further for this place.’”
