| AN.IV.168 | Saariiputta Sutta | Moggallaana went to Saariputta and told him that there are four modes of spiritual progress. Those modes of progress are enumerated as: 1. painful progress with slow intuition [dukkhaapa.tipadaa dandhaabhi~n~naa] -- those who cultivate no generosity, self-discipline or meditation; 2. painful progress with quick intuition [dukkhaapa.tipadaa khippaabhi~n~naa] -- those who cultivate only meditation, but no generosity or self-discipline; 3. convenient progress with slow intuition [sukhaapa.tipadaa dandhaabhi~n~naa] -- those who practice only generosity and self-discipline, but who practice no meditation, and; 4. convenient progress with quick intuition [sukhaapa.tipadaa khippaabhi~n~naa] -- those who practice generosity and self-discipline and meditation too. Moggallaana says he has become enlightened by the way which is not painful and has swift insight. | 35/398 | Catukanipaata Catuttha Pa.n.naasaka | A"nguttara | A.ii. |
