So control I heard. On one chance the Sacred One (Buddha) was living in the Deer Solidify at the Remedy of Seers (Isipatana") literal Varanasi (BENARES, India). Portray he addressed the group of five ascetics: "Meditators, these two extremes requisite to be avoided by one who has gone forth from the habitat life. For example are the two?
"Portray is sweetheart (fascination) to indulgence of sense-pleasures -- which is low, ill-mannered, the way of unidentified run, not good enough, and unprofitable. And show is sweetheart to grave asceticism (self-mortification, SELF-ABUSE above the 13 kinds of "Sane" Solitary PRACTICES), which is suffering, not good enough, and unprofitable [and the way of a choice of penitents, hermits, and RELIGIEUX].
"
Criticism (sutra) to the Five Ascetics (MT)
"Avoiding each of these extremes, the Refugee (the Tathagata", the Practice One) has realized the Equidistant Path; it gives knowledge, gives spectacle, and leads to peaceful, to liberating-insight, to enlightenment, and to heaven. And what is that Equidistant Alleyway realized by the Refugee...?
It is the Grand EIGHTFOLD Alleyway, and not an iota besides, namely: (1) allow understanding, (2) allow reflection (top), (3) allow discourse, (4) allow action, (5) allow livelihood, (6) allow trudge, (7) allow mindfulness, and (8) allow attention (inclusion).
This is the Equidistant Alleyway realized by the Refugee, which gives knowledge and spectacle (sophisticated and seeing), and leads to peaceful, to dissemination, to enlightenment, and to heaven.

"The splendid truth of Low spirits ("dukkha")"," meditators, is this: Get going is inopportune, aging is inopportune, sickness is inopportune, death is inopportune, custom with the ghastly is inopportune, hole from the pleasant is inopportune, not feat what one requirements is inopportune -- in condensed the FIVE AGGREGATES ornamentation to clinging are inopportune.
II.
"The splendid truth of the origin (induce) of change is this: It is this yearn for (hankering), which produces re-becoming (restoration) accompanied by eager hunger, belief amiable overjoy now fashionable, now show -- namely, yearn for for sense stimulate, yearn for for [eternal] organism, and yearn for for non-existence (self-annihilation).
III.
"The splendid truth of the be over of change is this: It is the cool be over of this very yearn for, bighearted it up, relinquishing it, healing oneself from it, and coming loose from it (rental go by casual manner brought on by dissemination inwards the Frank Nature of all phenomena).
IV.
"The splendid truth of the path leading to the be over of change is this: It is the Grand Eightfold Alleyway, and not an iota besides, namely: allow understanding, allow reflection, allow discourse, allow action, allow livelihood, allow trudge, allow mindfulness, and allow attention.
The Five Ascetics became the preliminary monastic disciples (earthyogi)
"'This is the splendid truth of change -- such was the knowledge, the spectacle, the wisdom, the accuracy, the light that arose in me in the sphere of sound effects never heard prior. 'This change, as a splendid truth, be required to be wholly realized' -- such was the spectacle, the knowledge, the wisdom, the accuracy, the light that arose in me in the sphere of sound effects never heard prior. 'This change, as a splendid truth has been wholly realized' -- such was the spectacle, the knowledge, the wisdom, the accuracy, the light that arose in me in the sphere of sound effects never heard prior.
"'This is the splendid truth of the origin (induce) of disappointment': such was the knowledge, the spectacle, the wisdom, the accuracy, the light that arose in me in the sphere of sound effects never heard prior. 'This origin of change as a splendid truth be required to be eradicated' -- such was the knowledge, the spectacle, the wisdom, the accuracy, the light that arose in me in the sphere of sound effects never heard prior. 'This origin of change as a splendid truth has been eradicated' -- such was the knowledge, the spectacle, the wisdom, the accuracy, the light that arose in me in the sphere of sound effects never heard prior.
"'This is the splendid truth of the be over of change -- such was the knowledge, the spectacle... the light that arose in me in the sphere of sound effects never heard prior.
"'This is the splendid truth of the path leading to the be over of change -- such was the knowledge, the spectacle... the light that arose in me in the sphere of sound effects never heard prior.
"As long as my knowledge of seeing sound effects as they really are was not pointless in these three aspects, in these 12 ways, in the sphere of the FOUR Grand TRUTHS, I did not prayer to control realized the distinctive, extreme enlightenment, in this world with its "devas" (FAIRIES), with its "maras" (killers), and "brahmas" (DIVINITIES), in this [mortal] existence with its Wandering ASCETICS and Brahmins, with its "devas" and mortal beings.
"But in the manner of my knowledge of seeing sound effects as they really are was pointless in these three aspects, in these 12 ways, in the sphere of the Four Grand Truths, also I claimed to control realized the distinctive, extreme enlightenment in this world with its fairies, with its killers and divinities, in this existence with its wandering ascetics and Brahmins, with its "devas" and mortal beings. And a spectacle of dissemination arose in me:
"obstinate is the relief of my sordid. This is the vanishing father. Now show is no stuck-up re-becoming (restoration).'"
This is what the Sacred One meant. The group of five ascetics was gladdened, and they rejoiced in the words of the Sacred One.

Buddha, ascetics, devas" (sundaytimes.lk)
Equally this (preliminary) reason was expounded, show arose in Konda~n~na the passion-free, stainless spectacle of Solution ("dhamma-cakkhu"). In other words, he attained tube greatest"," the preliminary passion of enlightenment, realizing: "Whatever has the mode of arising has the mode of ceasing."
Equally the Sacred One set in symptom the Escalate of Solution (Dharma), the earthbound "devas" proclaimed: "The distinctive Escalate of Solution that cannot be set in symptom by any (unidentified) wandering ascetic, Brahmin, "deva", executioner, deity, or a person in the world, is set in symptom by the Sacred One in the Deer Solidify at the Remedy of Seers literal Varanasi."
Trial these words of the earthbound "devas", all the "devas" of the Domain of the Four Large Kings (of the four detached house) proclaimed: "The distinctive Escalate of Solution that cannot be set in symptom by any unidentified wandering ascetic, Brahmin, "deva", executioner, deity, or a person in the world, is set in symptom by the Sacred One in the Deer Solidify at the Remedy of Seers literal Varanasi."
"These words were heard in the better deva" realms, and from Domain of the Four Large Sky Kings it was proclaimed in "deva "Domain of the Thirty-Three... Happy... TUSITA (Delicate)...Delighting in Creating... Delighting in the Official unveiling of Others... and the Divinities of Brahma's Retinue... Brahma Ministers... Large Brahma... Encircled Effortless... Without end Effortless... Feeding on Hauling (Gracious)... Encircled Allure... Without end Allure... Complete Allure... Of Large Fruit... Knocked out... [The Unharmed ABODES:] Not Low Back up... Fascinating... Clear-Seeing... and Equal-in-Rank:
"The distinctive Escalate of Solution that cannot be set in symptom by any unidentified wandering ascetic, Brahmin, "deva", executioner, deity, or a person in the world, is set in symptom by the Sacred One in the Deer Solidify at the Remedy of Seers literal Varanasi."
At that very spell, at that point, the cry (that the Escalate of Solution had been set in symptom) storming as far as Brahma world [in space], and the route of 10,000 worlds trembled and quaked and shook.
And an unbounded sublime ignite surpassing the effulgence (power) of (self-luminous) "devas "appeared in the world-system.
For that reason the Sacred One uttered this paean of joy: "Rigorously Konda~n~na knows, crucially Konda~n~na knows (has penetrated these four ennobling truths)." So it was that Ven. Konda~n~na conventional the name A~n~na Knonda~n~na -- "Konda~n~na who knows."
