sn22.2:4.1 “Reverends, there are those who question a mendicant who has gone abroad—
sn22.2:4.2 astute aristocrats, brahmins, householders, and ascetics—
sn22.2:4.3 for astute people are inquisitive:
sn22.2:4.4 ‘But what does the venerables’ Teacher teach? What does he explain?’ I trust the venerables have properly heard, learned, applied the mind, and remembered the teachings, and penetrated them with wisdom. That way, when answering you will repeat what the Buddha has said and not misrepresent him with an untruth. You will explain in line with the teaching, with no legitimate grounds for rebuttal and criticism.”
