Visuddhimagga XII-125

Santikaṃ pana gahetvā ko dūramakāsīti? Bhagavā.

谁曾使近处成为远？世尊。

Ñ(XII,125): Who has taken what was near and made it far? The Blessed One.



Bhagavā hi attano ca aṅgulimālassa (ma. ni. 2.348) ca antaraṃ santikampi dūramakāsīti.

即世尊使鸯瞿利摩罗与自己的尺咫之间而成为远。

Ñ: For although Aṅgulimāla was near to the Blessed One, yet he made him far (see M.ii,99).
