BAGIAN 1
sn56.31:1.2 Then the Buddha picked up a few rosewood leaves in his hand and addressed the mendicants:
sn56.31:1.3 “What do you think, mendicants?
sn56.31:1.4 Which is more:
sn56.31:1.5 the few leaves in my hand, or those in the grove above?”
sn56.31:1.6 “Sir, the few leaves in your hand are a tiny amount.
sn56.31:1.7 There are far more leaves in the grove above.”
sn56.31:1.8 “In the same way, there is much more that I have directly known but have not explained to you. What I have explained is a tiny amount.
sn56.31:1.9 And why haven’t I explained it?
sn56.31:1.10 Because it’s not beneficial or relevant to the fundamentals of the spiritual life. It doesn’t lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment.
sn56.31:1.11 That’s why I haven’t explained it.
