Salayatana Vagga: 35: 23: The All
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Saɱyutta Nikāya:
IV. Saḷāyatana Vagga:
35: Saḷāyatanasaṃyuttaṃ
Sutta 23
Sabba Suttaṃ
The All
Translated from the Pali by Michael Olds
I HEAR TELL:
Once upon a time, Bhagava, Savatthi-town revisiting, Anathapindika's Jeta grove.
There to the Beggars gathered round, Bhagava said this:
I will teach you, beggars, the All. Pay heed!
This, Beggars, is The All:
I have spoken, beggars, of The All.
Any Beggar, Beggars, who came along saying:
'I will Show You Another All Beyond This All!'
Would be Unable to Do So, And Furthermore Would Find Himself Over the Abyss!
THE
AGHA!
How Come?
Because to Point to Another All Beyond This All Would be Beyond His Scope,
That's How Come.
