[250] Then the Blessed One gave the householder Anāthapiṇḍika a progressive talk (anupubbīkathā), that is to say: he made known talk on giving, talk on virtue, talk on heaven; the danger, degradation, and defilement of sensual pleasures; and the benefit in renunciation. When the Blessed One knew that the householder Anāthapiṇḍika's mind was ready, malleable, free from hindrances (nīvaraṇa), uplifted, and confident, then he made known that Dhamma teaching which the Buddhas themselves have brought to light: suffering (dukkha), its origin, its cessation, and the path. Just as a clean cloth, free from stains, would properly take the dye, even so, in that very seat, there arose in the householder Anāthapiṇḍika the dust-free, stainless vision of the Dhamma (dhammacakkhu): "Whatever is of a nature to originate, all that is of a nature to cease."
