Lesson 1.2.5 Brahmajālasuttavaṇṇanā - So Rare!
The following lesson is a short selection from the Brahmajālasuttavaṇṇanā, the commentary on the Brahmajālasutta (the very first sutta in the Dīghanikāya). It describes a situation where the Buddha, after having performed his daily routine in the morning, addressed the monks with words well known by a serious meditator, and quoted by S. N. Goenka: “… dullabho buddhuppādo lokasmiṃ dullabho manussattapaṭilābho, dullabhā sampatti dullabhā pabbajjā, dullabhaṃ saddhammassavanan”ti.
