Dear Punna where you hope to live..?

After teaching Dharmma to monk Punna..

Lord Buddha; Dear Punna where you hope to live..?

Monk Punna; There is a city named Sunaparathna, I hope to go there.

Lord Buddha; I heard that people of Sunaparathna are very wicked, and they may insult you, then what you going to do..?

Monk Punna; If they would insult me, I think that even though they insult me, they don’t knock me and they are nice people.

Lord Buddha; If they would knock you down..?

Monk Punna; If they would knock me down, I think that even though they knock me down they don’t hit me with stones and woods, and they are nice people.

Lord Budda;If they would hit you with stones and woods..?

Monk Punna; If they would hit me with stones and woods , I think that even though they hit me with stones and woods, they don’t hit me with weapons, and they are nice people.

Lord Buddha; If they would hit you with weapons..?

Monk Punna; If they would hit me with weapons , I think that even though they hit me with weapons, they don’t kill me with weapons, and they are nice people.

Lord Buddha; If they would kill you..?

Monk Punna; If they would kill me, I think that, having this body is the root to all the sufferings, and they help me to get rid of it,and they are nice people.

Lord Buddha; Sadu, Sadu, Sadu Punna! You have tamed yourself very well and you can live city of Sunaparathna.
