1“If, mendicants, a mendicant develops the first absorption, even as long as a finger snap, they are called a mendicant who does not lack absorption, who follows the Teacher’s instructions, who responds to advice, and who does not eat the country’s alms in vain. How much more so those who make much of it!”
