[100] Here, Cunda, a Teacher has arisen in the world who is an Arahant, a Perfectly Enlightened One (arahaṃ sammāsambuddho), and the Dhamma is well expounded, well proclaimed, emancipating, conducive to peace, made known by one perfectly enlightened; but his disciples have not been made to understand the meaning in the true Dhamma (saddhamma), and the entirely complete spiritual life (brahmacariya) has not been made plain to them, made open, made with all its sayings collected, made with its demonstrable basis, well proclaimed as far as gods and humans; and then the passing away of their Teacher takes place. When a Teacher such as this has died, Cunda, it is a matter of remorse for the disciples. Why is that? [They reflect:] 'For a Teacher arose in the world for us, an Arahant, a Perfectly Enlightened One, and the Dhamma was well expounded, well proclaimed, emancipating, conducive to peace, made known by one perfectly enlightened; but we were not made to understand the meaning in the true Dhamma, nor was the entirely complete spiritual life made plain to us, made open, made with all its sayings collected, made with its demonstrable basis, well proclaimed as far as gods and humans; and then the passing away of our Teacher took place.' When a Teacher such as this has died, Cunda, it is a matter of remorse for the disciples.
