Thus have I heard:
One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.
At that time, Bhagavaan said to the Bhikshus:
“There are two kinds of beings in the world who, when they see lightning and hear thunder, feel no fear. Who are these two?
The lion, king of beasts, and the Arhat who has exhausted all defilements.
Thus, bhikshus, these two in the world do not feel fear when witnessing lightning and thunder. Therefore, bhikshus, you should strive to become an Arhat free of defilements. Thus, bhikshus, you should practice in this way.”
When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
