Ānandasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Saṁyuttanikāya · Mahāvaggasaṁyutta · Vol. 19 · Section 1485

[1485] On one occasion the Venerable Sāriputta and the Venerable Ānanda were dwelling at Sāvatthī, in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's Park. Then, in the evening, the Venerable Sāriputta emerged from seclusion and approached the Venerable Ānanda; having approached, he exchanged greetings with the Venerable Ānanda, and when the courteous and memorable talk was concluded, he sat down to one side. Seated to one side, the Venerable Sāriputta said this to the Venerable Ānanda: "Friend Ānanda, through the abandoning of how many things, and by reason of the possession of how many things, are these people declared by the Blessed One to be stream-enterers (sotāpanna), no longer subject to downfall, fixed in destiny, with full awakening as their destination?"
