Mother Mātusutta

At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

“Mendicants, this transmigration has no known beginning. … “Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro …pe… It’s not easy to find a sentient being who in all this long time has not previously been your mother. na so, bhikkhave, satto sulabharūpo yo namātābhūtapubbo iminā dīghena addhunā.

Why is that? Taṁ kissa hetu? This transmigration has no known beginning. … Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro …pe… This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.” alaṁ vimuccitun”ti.
