sn55.21:1.1 So I have heard.
sn55.21:1.2 At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Sakyans, near Kapilavatthu in the Banyan Tree Monastery.
sn55.21:1.3 Then Mahānāma the Sakyan went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
sn55.21:1.4 “Sir, this Kapilavatthu is successful and prosperous, populous and full of people, with cramped cul-de-sacs.
sn55.21:1.5 In the late afternoon, after paying homage to the Buddha or an esteemed mendicant, I enter Kapilavatthu.
sn55.21:1.6 I encounter a stray elephant,
sn55.21:1.7 horse,
sn55.21:1.8 chariot,
sn55.21:1.9 cart,
sn55.21:1.10 or person.
sn55.21:1.11 At that time I lose mindfulness regarding the Buddha, the teaching, and the Saṅgha.
sn55.21:1.12 I think:
sn55.21:1.13 ‘If I were to die at this time, where would I be reborn in my next life?’”
