Now on that occasion a certain bhikkhu was standing within hearing of the Blessed One. The Blessed One saw that bhikkhu standing there within hearing, and having seen him, said to that bhikkhu: "Did you hear this exposition of Dhamma (dhammapariyāya), bhikkhu?" "Yes, venerable sir." "Learn this exposition of Dhamma, bhikkhu; master this exposition of Dhamma, bhikkhu; bear this exposition of Dhamma in mind, bhikkhu. This exposition of Dhamma is connected with the goal; it is fundamental to the holy life (brahmacariya)."
