The Hermits of Benares

When the five hermits saw him from afar they said: “Siddhartha has recovered his strength and beauty; he comes to us, having failed to accomplish the penance. As he is of royal birth, let us offer him a seat, but we will not rise or go to meet him.” Buddha perceived their thought and directed his loving-kindness towards them. Immediately, just as a withered leaf in holplessly swept away in torrent, so they helplessly, overcome by the force of his love, rose went to do him honour. . . . Page 274

“There are two things,” he said, “that must be avoided by one who becomes a hermit, viz., wrong desires and mortification of the body.” This was the subject-matter of the first discourse, and it seemed to each hearer that it was spoken in his own tongue, and every kind of animal heard him with the same impression. Myriads of the devas entered the first and second and third and fourth paths. ~ Page 274

O Sakyamuni, conquering the powerful host of Mara,
You found peace, immortality, and the happiness of that supreme enlightenment,
Which is not realized by any among the heterodox,
Though they arrest their feeling, thought and mental processes.
