The Discourse to Sāriputta
37.
Thus have I heard.
On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Sāvatthī in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's park.
Now at that time the venerable Sāriputta was seated not far from the Blessed One, folding his legs crosswise, directing his body upright, of few wishes, content, secluded, not in company, putting forth strenuous energy, devoted to higher consciousness.
The Blessed One saw the venerable Sāriputta seated not far away, folding his legs crosswise, directing his body upright, of few wishes, content, secluded, not in company, putting forth strenuous energy, devoted to higher consciousness.
Then the Blessed One, having understood this matter, at that time uttered this inspired utterance -
A sage training in the paths of wisdom;
Sorrows do not exist for such a one,
Who is at peace, always mindful." The seventh.
