Keva.d.dha | Keva.t.ta | Diigha | Siilakhandha Vagga | DN.11 | D.i.211ff.,Ud.i.10 | 12/228 | Dhamma teaching, miracles | The Buddha enumerates three types of miracles: 1. Marvels of psychic power (iddhipaa.tihaariya); 2. marvels of mind-reading (aadesanaapaa.tihaariya), and; 3. marvels of implementing the teaching (anusaasaniipaa.tihaariya) of which the last is the ultimate (at D.i.211). The Buddha tells the story of a monk who wants to know where elements go when they pass away, but cannot find an answer by asking beings in any realm except by asking the Buddha. |
