Householder Nakulapitā👤person

When an aging householder approaches the Buddha distressed by his failing body, the Buddha advises him to train so his mind remains unafflicted despite physical decline. The venerable Sāriputta then clarifies this teaching.

If both husband and wife wish to see one another in this very life and also to meet one another again in the next life, both should be alike in faith, ethical conduct, giving, and wisdom.
