At one time, the Buddha lived in the Garden of Solitude in the Gion Grove of the Acropolis. One day, the Buddha said to his monks, "Disciples, if a man placed seven stones the size of vegetable seeds at the foot of the Himalayan Snowy Mountains, what do you think now, disciples, is there more stones in the Himalayan Snowy Mountains, or is this man placing more stones the size of seven vegetable seeds?" ”

The monks replied, "Shizun, of course, there are more stones in the Himalayan snowy mountains, and even fewer stones the size of seven vegetable seeds, and the stones on the Himalayan snowy mountains are hundred, thousand, 100,000, and countless times larger than the stones the size of seven vegetable seeds." The stones the size of seven vegetable seeds are negligible compared to those found in the Himalayan snowy mountains. ”

The Buddha said, "In the same way, disciples, who have the right insight and have realized the first fruits (explanation of the first fruits, see chapter 70) and above, they have destroyed and eliminated a lot of troubles and sufferings, and they have destroyed as many troubles and sufferings as the stones on the snowy mountains of the Himalayas, and they have very little left of them and as little as stones the size of seven vegetable seeds. The disciples, that is to say, the holy disciples who have attained the first fruits, their residual troubles and pains are not comparable to the one-hundredth, thousandths, and one-hundredths of their extinction of their worries and sufferings, and their residual troubles and pains are negligible compared to the troubles and pains they have destroyed. These holy disciples who have already achieved the first fruits of life, they can go back and forth between the world and the heavenly realm at most seven times, and they can be forever liberated from the cycle of life and death, that is to say, the holy disciples who have realized the first fruits, they can get rid of all troubles and pains at most seven more times in the cycle of life and death, they can be freed from this world forever, and they can be forever liberated from the cycle of life and death. Disciples, with correct insights, can obtain such great meritorious benefits by attaining the first fruits of enlightenment, and if they understand the Dhamma as mentioned here, they can obtain such great meritorious benefits. ”

After the Buddha's teachings, the monks who listened to the teachings all paid homage to the Buddha again, praising the immeasurable merits of the Buddha's teachings, and they all practiced according to the Buddha's teachings.
