SA 1033（一〇三三） 达摩提离

The Sutra of the Elder Dharmadinna is also like the first sutra spoken by the World-Honored One for the elder Anāthapiṇḍada, and the second sutra is also spoken in the same way. The difference is: "If the elder further relies on these four unshakable pure beliefs, he should cultivate the six recollections above, namely, recollecting the Tathāgata, up to recollecting the gods."

The elder said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One! Relying on the four unshakable pure beliefs, I have now accomplished the six recollections above, and I always cultivate the recollection of the Tathāgata, up to the recollection of the gods."

The Buddha told the elder: "Excellent! Excellent! You now declare for yourself the fruit of the non-returner."

The elder said to the Buddha: "I only wish that the World-Honored One would accept my invitation to a meal." At that time, the World-Honored One silently accepted the invitation.

The elder, knowing that the Buddha had accepted the invitation, immediately prepared various pure and delicious foods and respectfully made offerings. After the World-Honored One had eaten, he further spoke various teachings to the elder, showing, teaching, illuminating, and delighting him. Then he rose from his seat and departed.
