Episode description
This episode is a narration of the 34th Sutta of the Middle Discourses of the Buddha, The Cūḷagopālaka Sutta, which translates as “the Shorter Discourse on the Cowherd”. In this sutta the Buddha draws parallels between a cowherd guiding his herd across a dangerous river and crossing over to Awakening. The Buddha presents the various kinds of enlightened disciples who cross the stream of transmigration.
This translation of the Cūḷagopālaka Sutta is by Bhikkhu Sujato and was sourced from Sutta Central.
