SN 55.20 A Visit to the Gods (3rd) – Tatiyadevacārikasutta
Then the Buddha, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, vanished from Jeta’s Grove and reappeared among the gods of the Thirty-Three.
Atha kho bhagavā—seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṁ vā bāhaṁ pasāreyya, pasāritaṁ vā bāhaṁ samiñjeyya; evameva—jetavane antarahito devesu tāvatiṁsesu pāturahosi.
Then several deities of the company of the Thirty-Three went up to the Buddha, bowed, and stood to one side. The Buddha said to them:
Atha kho sambahulā tāvatiṁsakāyikā devatāyo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhaṁsu. Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho tā devatāyo bhagavā etadavoca:
“Reverends, it’s good to have experiential confidence in the Buddha. …
“Sādhu kho, āvuso, buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanaṁ hoti—
itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti.
It’s the reason why some sentient beings are stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.
Buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanahetu kho, āvuso, evam’idhekacce sattā sotāpannā avinipātadhammā niyatā sambodhiparāyaṇā.
It’s good to have experiential confidence in the teaching. …
Sādhu kho, āvuso, dhamme …pe…
the Saṅgha …
saṅghe …pe…
and to have the ethical conduct that’s loved by the noble ones … leading to samādhi.
ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgamanaṁ hoti akhaṇḍehi …pe… samādhisaṁvattanikehi.
It’s the reason why some sentient beings are stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.”
Ariyakantehi sīlehi samannāgamanahetu kho, āvuso, evam’idhekacce sattā sotāpannā avinipātadhammā niyatā sambodhiparāyaṇā”ti.
“Good sir, it’s good to have experiential confidence in the Buddha …
“Sādhu kho, mārisa, buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanaṁ hoti—
itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavāti.
It’s the reason why some sentient beings are stream-enterers, not liable to be reborn in the underworld, bound for awakening.
Buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgamanahetu kho, mārisa, evamayaṁ pajā sotāpannā avinipātadhammā niyatā sambodhiparāyaṇā.
It’s good to have experiential confidence in the teaching. …
