Verse 81 for 22 March, 2026
81. Jambukhadaka the wanderer came to Venerable Sariputta and said to him: "They talk about Nirvana! Nirvana! But what, Sariputta, is Nirvana?" "The destruction of greed, hatred and delusion is Nirvana." "Is there any path, any approach that leads to Nirvana?" "There is such a path, such an approach." "And what is it?" "It is, friend, the Noble Eightfold Path - Perfect View, Perfect Thought, Perfect Speech, Perfect Action, Perfect Livelihood, Perfect Effort, Perfect Mindfulness and Perfect Concentration." "An auspicious path, an auspicious approach to the realization of Nirvana it is too, a proper occasion for earnestness."
Samyutta Nikaya IV.252 ::
