[599] Then the Blessed One gave the brahmin Brahmāyu a progressive discourse (anupubbikathā), namely: he expounded talk on giving (dānakathā), talk on virtue (sīlakathā), talk on heaven (saggakathā); the danger, the degradation, and the defilement of sensual pleasures; and the benefit of renunciation (nekkhamma). When the Blessed One knew that the brahmin Brahmāyu's mind (citta) was ready, that his mind was malleable, his mind free of hindrances (nīvaraṇa), his mind uplifted, his mind confident, then he expounded that teaching of the Dhamma which the Buddhas themselves have brought to light: suffering (dukkha), its origin, its cessation, and the path. Just as a clean cloth, free of dark stains, would take the dye evenly, even so, in that very seat, there arose in the brahmin Brahmāyu the dust-free, stainless vision of the Dhamma (dhammacakkhu): "Whatever is subject to origination, all that is subject to cessation."
