Mahā Assapurasutta untranslated

Mahā Assapurasutta. Preached at Assapura, in the Aṅga country. Since monks are called recluses (samaṇā) they must train themselves to be true samaṇas and Brāhmaṇas; they should beconscientious and scrupulous, pure in deed, word and thought, guarding the portals of the senses, moderate in eating, ever vigilant, mindful and self-possessed, striving to put off the five nivaraṇā and cultivating the jhāna. Such an almsman can truly be called a samaṇa, a Brahmin, a nahātaka, vedagū, sotthiya, ariya, and Arahant. He is an ideal recluse. MN.i.271-80.
