The opening

What’s the Goal?

So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:

“Sir, what is the goal and benefit of skillful ethics?”

“Ānanda, having no regrets is the goal and benefit of skillful ethics.”

The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
