The Discourse on Soṇa
128.
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the Squirrels' Feeding Ground.
Then Soṇa, a householder's son, approached the Blessed One;
having approached, he paid respect to the Blessed One and sat down to one side.
Seated to one side, Soṇa, the householder's son, said this to the Blessed One -
"What, venerable sir, is the cause, what is the condition, whereby some beings here do not attain final nibbāna in this very life?
But what, venerable sir, is the cause, what is the condition, whereby some beings here attain final nibbāna in this very life?"
This, Soṇa, is the cause, this is the condition, whereby some beings here attain final nibbāna in this very life.
