sn21.3:3.1 “Well, reverend, I said to the Buddha,
sn21.3:3.2 ‘Sir, they speak of one who is energetic.
sn21.3:3.3 How is an energetic person defined?’
sn21.3:3.4 When I said this, the Buddha said,
sn21.3:3.5 ‘Moggallāna, it’s when a mendicant lives with energy roused up:
sn21.3:3.6 “Gladly, let only skin, sinews, and bones remain! Let the flesh and blood waste away in my body! I will not stop trying until I have achieved what is possible by human strength, energy, and vigor.”
sn21.3:3.7 That’s how an individual is energetic.’
sn21.3:3.8 That’s the Dhamma talk I had together with the Buddha.”
