the Blessed One

You are inside St Simon's Hospital, a children's hospital with bright murals across the walls. The building has been heavily barricaded. There is a crowd of 50 survivors gathered here. [list names]

You say "Then the Blessed One, picking up a little bit of dust with the tip of his fingernail, said to the monks, What do you think, monks? Which is greater: the little bit of dust I have picked up with the tip of my fingernail, or the great earth?" to the fifty people nearest to you.

You say "In the same way, monks,an individual who has broken through [to stream-entry], the suffering & stress that is totally ended & extinguished is far greater. That which remains in the state of having at most seven remaining lifetimes is next to nothing:" to the fifty people nearest to you.

You say "it's not a hundredth, a thousandth, a one hundred-thousandth, when compared with the previous mass of suffering. That's how great the benefit is of breaking through to the Dhamma, monks." to the fifty people nearest to you.
