Cetiyasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Mahāvaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 19 · Section 1123

[1123] Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling at Vesālī, in the Great Wood, in the Hall with the Peaked Roof. Then, in the morning, the Blessed One dressed and, taking bowl and robe, entered Vesālī for alms. Having walked for alms in Vesālī, after the meal, when he had returned from the alms round, he addressed the Venerable Ānanda: "Take a sitting cloth (nisīdana), Ānanda; we shall go to the Pāvāla Shrine (cetiya) for the day's abiding." "Yes, venerable sir," the Venerable Ānanda replied to the Blessed One, and taking the sitting cloth, he followed close behind the Blessed One.
