Father

Pitusutta

EN
At Sāvatthī. “Mendicants, this transmigration has no known beginning. … It’s not easy to find a sentient being who in all this long time has not previously been your father. … This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.”
PL
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati. “Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro …pe… na so, bhikkhave, satto sulabharūpo yo napitābhūtapubbo …pe… alaṁ vimuccitun”ti.
PL
Pañcamaṁ.
