339. “In the same way, Bhikkhus, those beings who have the rare opportunity to come in contact with and listen to The Dhamma, taught by The Tathāgata, are so very few when compared to the countless other beings who will never get a chance to make contact with nor hear The Dhamma, taught by The Tathāgata.”
