Full moon Observances II
Uposatha 2 (SN 29.4)
1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anāthapiṇḍika in Jeta's grove in Sāvatthi.
2. Then a certain monk approached the Blessed One, worshipped, and sat on a side.
3. Sitting, that monk said to the Blessed One: “Venerable sir, how is it that a certain serpent, born from a womb, observing the full moon observances, would even give up his body?”
4. “Here, monk, to a certain serpent born from a womb it occurs: `Earlier we acted in two ways by body, speech, and mind, and after death were born with the serpents born from a womb.'
5. “`Today we develop the right conduct by body, speech, and mind. In this manner we go to a good state, go to heaven after death.'
6. “`Therefore at this time we develop the right conduct by body speech and mind.'
7. “Monk, this is the reason that a certain serpent, born from a womb, observing the full moon observances, would even give up his body.”
