Ud 3.4 - With Sāriputta Translated by Bhikkhu Sujato Source: https://suttacentral.net/ud3.4/en/sujato License: CC0-1.0 Heartfelt Sayings 3.4 With Sāriputta So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Now at that time Venerable Sāriputta was sitting not far from the Buddha, cross-legged, his body set straight, and mindfulness brought to the present. The Buddha saw him meditating there. Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment: “As a rocky mountain is unwavering and well grounded, so when delusion ends, a monk, like a mountain, doesn’t tremble.”
