Taught by Ānanda at Kapilavatthu, in the new Mote hall of the Licchavī. The Buddha taught until late into the night and then asked Ānanda, to continue, suggesting to him as a topic the training of an adept. Ānanda explained in detail how a monk could be virtuous, watchful over his senses, temperate in eating, vigilant, established in the seven virtuous qualities (faith, etc.), and be able at will to induce the four absorptions (jhāna).
