SN2.2: Kassapa Sutta

Kassapa Sutta : Kassapa the Deva’s Son - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Near Sāvatthi in the monastery… Standing to one side, Kassapa the deva’s son recited this verse in the Blessed One’s presence:

“A monk should have jhāna,

be released in mind,

if he wants the heart’s attainment:

knowing the arising & passing away of the world,

good in his awareness, independent,

aimed at that reward.”

“A monk should have jhāna,

be released in mind,

if he wants the heart’s attainment:

knowing the arising & passing away of the world,

good in his awareness, independent,

aimed at that reward.”
