Chapter Two

Mother

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, this transmigration has no known beginning. …

It’s not easy to find a sentient being who in all this long time has not previously been your mother.

Why is that?

This transmigration has no known beginning. …

This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.”
