You have cut off all our livelihoods, therefore, please have mercy, and we can work as laborers in your temple. We have lived here for a long time, and we cannot abandon our homeland. Then, the householder Anathapindika said: Let us consult the venerable Shariputra for a while. Having said that, he went to where the venerable Shariputra was, and upon arriving, he said these words to the venerable Shariputra: Venerable, the non-Buddhists report: You have cut off all our livelihoods, therefore, please have mercy, and we can work as laborers in your temple. We have lived here for a long time, and we cannot abandon our homeland. The venerable Shariputra thought: Do these people have a little bit of virtue or not? When he entered into meditation, he saw that they did have virtue. He also thought: Who does this depend on? Thinking: It only depends on me. Thinking this way, he said: Householder, if there is no obstacle, do as they say. Those people began to work as laborers in that temple, and the venerable Shariputra conjured up a fierce man holding a whip, and he made him drive those people to work. The venerable Shariputra, knowing that the time to tame them had come, walked and rested near a tree nearby, and when those people saw him, they thought: He is alone, now is a good time to kill him. So, they gathered around him from all directions. The venerable Shariputra thought: With what kind of mind have these people come to me? When he saw that they had the intention to kill, he put away the whip and sternly ordered them: You go to work now! Those people said: Venerable Shariputra, please save us! He said: Venerable, leave for a while and rest. Those people thought: He is so great, but we thought of killing him, but he treats us with such love. Realizing this, they developed faith. After that, the venerable Shariputra understood their thoughts, habits, dispositions, and nature, and then explained the Four Noble Truths to them separately.

After teaching the Dharma in such a way that, upon hearing it, they shattered the twenty high peaks of the mountain of viewing the aggregates with the vajra of wisdom, thereby realizing the fruit of stream-entry. Having seen the truth, they said, 'Venerable Shariputra, if we could obtain the status of a monk with ordination and full ordination in the Dharma and Vinaya well-spoken by you, we would practice the pure conduct in the presence of Venerable Shariputra.' Then, the venerable Shariputra ordained and fully ordained them, and gave them instructions. Through diligence, effort, and exertion, they recognized the moving and unmoving five aggregates of this cycle of existence. All aspects of conditioned phenomena had deteriorated, overwhelmed by the nature of decay, disintegration, and destruction. Having abandoned all defilements, they realized the state of an Arhat. Having become Arhats, they were free from attachment to the three realms, with minds that regarded rubble and gold as equal, like the sky and the palm of the hand, treating sandalwood and excrement alike. They shattered the shell of the egg of ignorance with wisdom, and attained wisdom, clairvoyance, and individual self-awareness. They turned their backs on attachment to existence and gain, and on reverence. They became objects of offering, remembrance, and praise by the gods and the gods of near-divinity. Then, the venerable Shariputra held one end of the measuring cord of the monastery, and the householder Anathapindika held the other end, and the venerable Shariputra began to smile. The householder Anathapindika said, 'Venerable Shariputra, the Tathagatas or the Shravakas of the Tathagatas do not smile without cause or condition. For what reason and condition are you smiling, Venerable Shariputra?' Householder, it is indeed so. It is indeed so, the Tathagatas or the Shravakas of the Tathagatas do not smile without cause or condition. When you hold the measuring cord here, even in the heavenly realm of Tushita,

The house was completed. Then, the householder Anathapindika, with eyes wide open in amazement, said: Venerable Sariputra, if that is so, then for that purpose I will also stretch the thread and especially manifest my mind with faith. When the venerable Sariputra took the thread, the householder Anathapindika manifested his mind with especially strong faith. At the end of that faith, the golden house became made of four kinds of jewels, and the venerable Sariputra also understood this. Then, the householder Anathapindika, with an ever-increasing stream of merit, had sixteen great monasteries and sixty small houses built. He built sixteen great monasteries and sixty small houses, and adorned them with all kinds of furnishings. Then he went to where the venerable Sariputra was, and upon arriving, he said this to the venerable Sariputra: Venerable Sariputra, when the Blessed One departs, how far will the journey be? Householder, it will be about the distance of a Chakravartin king. How far does a Chakravartin king travel? Householder, a Chakravartin king travels ten yojanas in one day. Then, the householder Anathapindika calculated the distance from Shravasti to Rajagriha and had people clean the road. He had alms-houses built, and arranged for people to provide food. He decorated with umbrellas, banners, and flags. He sprinkled with sandalwood water. He arranged very fragrant incense burners nearby. He had places for dismounting horses built. He also had seasonal medicines prepared. Having gathered everything in this way, he instructed a man: Hey, attendant, go to where the Blessed One is, and upon arriving, with my words, bow your head to the feet of the Blessed One, and ask if he is free from trouble? Is he free from anxiety? Is he comfortable? Is he well? Does he abide touching strength and ease? And report this: Blessed One, please go to Shravasti. Blessed One, please come with the Sangha of monks, I as much as

Even until the end of life, please grant that I may honor and serve you with robes and clothing, alms, and medicines and implements for treating illnesses. The man listened to the master's words as if they were the instructions of Anāthapiṇḍika, and set out for the city where the king resided. Gradually, he arrived at the king's city, and after resting from the fatigue of the journey, he went to the place where the Blessed One was. Upon arriving, he bowed his head to the Blessed One's feet and sat down to one side. The man then addressed the Blessed One, saying: "Venerable One, Anāthapiṇḍika bows his head to the Blessed One's feet," and so on, up to "Are you well?" as before. "Hey, man, may you and Anāthapiṇḍika be well!" "Venerable One, Anāthapiṇḍika's message is: 'Please, Blessed One, go to Śrāvastī. Blessed One, together with the Saṅgha of monks,'" and so on, up to "honor and serve," as before. The Blessed One said nothing to the man, thus granting his request. Then, knowing that the Blessed One had granted his request by saying nothing, the man bowed his head to the Blessed One's feet and departed from the Blessed One's presence.
