Kasī Bhāradvājasutta untranslated

Kasī Bhāradvājasutta. The Buddhist Parable of the Sower, forming the fourth Sutta of the Uragavagga of the Suttanipāta. (Pp.12ff; also found in the Saṁyutta i.171ff under the name of Kasīsutta and included in the Paritta). It contains the story of the Buddha’s visit to Kasī Bhāradvāja. The Buddha tells him that in his work as a Teacher are to be found all the elements of a farmer’s duties: faith is the seed, insight the plough, mindfulness the ploughshare and goad, energy the burden-bearing team. The harvest produced by the sowing is Nibbāna and the food ambrosia, free from suffering and sorrow.
