Dear Friends,
Having just listened to Bhante Sujato’s talk “Listen!”
In it he gave this beautiful quote: “The little streams are noisy, but silent flow the great rivers.” I would like to read the complete Sutta. Does somebody know from which Sutta he is quoting? The Sutta Nipata collection was mentioned, and I tried the search function but no luck, yet.
However, I found another equally beautiful passage from a Sutta called “The Waterpot”:
“What is not full, that is the thing that sounds,
That which is full is noiseless and at rest;
The fool is like an empty waterpot,
The wise man like a deep pool, clear and full.”
With metta.
