      Hello Dhamma friends.

      I am looking for statement?

      The first thing the Buddha is said, to have said after enlightenment is; “I have found the path to deathlessness!” Can someone tell me in which sutta, scriptures etc. this is written. I can’t remember where I read that.

      Such a verse could be in several suttas.

      The verse “And so, being myself liable to be reborn, understanding the drawbacks in being liable to be reborn, I sought that which is free of rebirth, the supreme sanctuary from the yoke, extinguishment—and I found it. Being myself liable to grow old, fall sick, die, sorrow, and become corrupted, understanding the drawbacks in these things, I sought that which is free of old age, sickness, death, sorrow, and corruption, the supreme sanctuary from the yoke, extinguishment—and I found it ” is in the “Pāsarāsi Sutta (MN 26).”
