THE SHORTER DISCOURSE ON THE LION'S ROAR
CŪḶASĪHANĀDA SUTTA
MAJJHIMA NIKĀYA 11 OF 152
Translated by: Bhikkhu Sujato
Read by: Roland Kitchen

DESCRIPTION
The Buddha declares that only those following his path can genuinely experience the four stages of awakening. This is because, while much is shared with other systems, none of them go so far as to fully reject all attachment to the idea of a self.
