30 Anāthapiṇḍika and Jetavana

Anāthapiṇḍika, a wealthy merchant, hears the word “Buddha” and is filled with faith. He rises in the night, spirits open the gate, and darkness turns to light. He meets the Buddha, who teaches him the Dhamma. He attains stream-entry and invites the Buddha to Sāvatthī. He purchases Jeta’s Grove for ten million gold coins and builds a monastery there.
