In this post #7

there is an account of the farmer and three paddy fields, which is a explanation of teaching Dhamma.

I’d like to know the name of sutta where this story came from.

[Lal]

It is “Khettūpama Sutta (SN 42.7).”

I just revised the post in question to include another reference as well:
“Why a Sotāpanna is Better off than any King, Emperor, or a Billionaire”

Please provide the name of the post (like I did above) instead of stating “this post.” That is more informative.

SN 42.7 Khettūpamasutta

[Lal]

Good job, y not. You and I posted almost at the same time!

P.S. If anyone knows the names of suttas for the accounts described in #4 of the post, “Why a Sotāpanna is Better off than any King, Emperor, or a Billionaire,” please post.

I am a Korean who is not familiar with English. When I ask a question on the forum and later someone answers, I often forget to say thank you and it’s a long time before I realize it. Because I used my brain so much to write in English that I lose all my energy after writing. I would like to thank you even now. Thank you both for answering my question.

[Lal]

You are welcome! We all are glad to be of help.

My pleasure. I understand your difficulty, yet you manage admirably well.

The account of the piglet/princess is found in Dhp339-343, but try as I might I could not get to the source of the other account.

Lal, my entry just before this one is superfluous. You may delete it.

[Lal]

Thanks, y not, for the reference.
– I have revised the post to include it.

The following is the account that I found for Dhp 338-343:
“Dhammapada Verses 338 to 343”
– Note that the background story uses the word “sow” for “piglet.”

Waharaka Thero rarely provided Tipitaka references. But it is a matter of time. I am sure we will also come across the other one at some point. Thanks for your efforts.
