Seasons (a)
[143]
Thus have I heard:
On a certain occasion the Exalted One addressed the monks, saying:
"Monks."
"Yes, lord," they replied, and the Exalted One said:
Monks, there are these four seasons.
What four?
Hearing Dhamma in due season,
discussion1 of Dhamma in due season,
calming in due season,
insight in due season.
These are the four seasons.
