At one time, when he was first awakened, the Buddha was staying near Uruvelā at the root of the goatherd’s banyan tree on the bank of the Nerañjarā River. [Read More]

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities… We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselvesLet every one of us please {his} neighbour for {his} good to edification. For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.
