Verse 270 for 27 September, 2026
270. The Lord approached the hermitage of the Brahmin Rammaka where a large number of monks happened to be sitting, talking about Dhamma. The Lord stood outside the porch waiting for the talk to finish, and when it had, he coughed, knocked at the bar, the monks opened the door. He sat down on the appointed seat and asked: "What were you talking about monks? What was the talk that has just stopped?" "We were talking about you, Lord." "It is good for you who are young men from good families, who have gone forth from home into homelessness, that when you meet together you speak either about Dhamma or observe noble silence."
Majjhima Nikaya I.161 ::
