Āsālha Puṇṇamī Pūjā Kathā

Yam-amha kho mayam, Bhagavantam saraṇam gatā, yo no Bhagavā satthā, yassa ca mayam Bhagavato dhammam rocema: Ahosi kho so Bhagavā, araham sammā-sambuddho, sattesu kāruññam paṭicca, karuṇāyako hitesī, anukampam upādāya, āsāḷha- puṇṇamiyam, Bārāṇasiyam isipatane migadāye, pañca-vaggiyānam bhikkhūnam, anuttaram dhamma-cakkam paṭhamam pavattetvā, cattāri ariya-saccāni pakāsesi.

Tasmiñca kho samaye, pañca-vaggiyānam bhikkhūnam pāmukho, āyasmā Añña-koṇḍañño, Bhagavantam dhammam sutvā, virajam vītamalam dhamma-cakkhum paṭilabhitvā, “Yankiñci samudaya- dhammam sabban-tam nirodha-dhammanti.” Bhagavantam upasampadam yācitvā, Bhagavatoyeva santike, ehi-bhikkhu-upasampadam paṭilabhitvā, Bhagavato dhamma-vinaye ariya-sāvaka-sangho, loke paṭhamam uppanno ahosi.
