The Buddha said to her, "Patacara, have no fear; you have now come to one who can protect you and guide you. Throughout this round of existences (samsara), the amount of tears you have shed on account of the death of your sons, husbands, parents and brothers is voluminous; it is even more than the waters of the four oceans." Thus the Buddha expounded to her the Anamatagga Sutta, which dealt with countless existences, and she felt relieved. Then, the Buddha added that one should not think too much about those who were gone, but that one should purify oneself and strive to realize Nibbana. On hearing this exhortation from the Buddha, Patacara attained Sotapatti Fruition.
Then, Patacara became a bhikkhuni. One day, she was cleaning her feet with water from a water-pot. As she poured the water for the first time, it flowed only a short distance and disappeared; then she poured for the second time and the water went a little farther, but the water she poured for the third time went the farthest. As she looked at the flow and the disappearance of water poured cut successively for three times, she came to perceive clearly the three stages in the life of beings. The Buddha seeing her through supernormal power from the Jetavana monastery sent forth his radiance and appeared to her in person. He then said to her, "Patacara, you are now on the right track, and you now have the true perception of the aggregates (khandhas). One who does not perceive the impermanence, unsatisfactoriness and insubstantiality of the aggregates is useless, even if he were to live for a hundred years.
Then the Buddha spoke in verse as follows:
Verse 113: Better than a hundred years in the life of a person who does not perceive the arising and the dissolving of the five aggregates (khandhas), is a day in the life of one who perceives the arising and dissolving of the five aggregates.
At the end of the discourse, Patacara attained arahatship.

6. Màvamaññetha 6 pàpassa
na mam tam àgamissati.
Udabindunipàtena
udakumbho' pi purati
Purati bàlo pàpassa
thokathokam pi àcinam. 121.
THINK NOT LIGHTLY OF EVIL
6. Do not disregard evil, saying, "It will not come nigh unto me"; by the falling of drops even a water-jar is filled; likewise the fool, gathering little by little, fills himself with evil. 121.
Story
A monk was indifferent to a slight wrong which he was continually doing. As he would not give heed to the advice of the other monks the matter was reported to the Buddha. In the presence of the Buddha too he remarked that one should not be so much concerned with such a slight wrong. The Buddha advised him not to disregard even a slight wrong.

A Study of the Buddha’s Travels
By Bhante Shravasti Dhammika
The only two of the great religious teachers who were successful during their own lifetimes were Mohammed and Gotama Buddha. Both had long teaching careers and both lived to see their respective religions firmly established. Prof. Basham has written that Buddhism was a minor religion until its adoption and promotion by King Asoka. Basham bases his assumption on the fact that there is no archaeological evidence of Buddhism before Asoka’s time but this seems to me to be a rather weak argument. What physical evidence are wandering ascetics, which are what the Buddha’s disciples were, likely to leave? They established few permanent monasteries and those they did build were made of mud, bamboo and thatch. As for stupas, these did not become an important feature of Buddhist worship until about the 3nd century BCE.

Udabindunipàtena
udakumbho' pi purati
Purati dhãro puññassa

THINK NOT LIGHTLY OF GOOD
7. Do not disregard merit, saying "It will not come nigh unto me"; by the falling of drops even a water-jar is filled; likewise the wise man, gathering little by little, fills himself with good. 122.
Story
A wise man, hearing the Buddha preach on the giving of alms, induced a whole village to give alms to the Buddha and the Sangha according to their means. When he went collecting provisions a rich man, misconstruing his motive, contributed a very small amount. While thanks were being offered to the various donors the rich man went there with the object of killing the wise man if he should speak disparagingly of him. The wise man on the contrary thanked all equally and wished them a great reward. The rich man felt remorse and sought his pardon.
Hearing the story, the Buddha discoursed on the value of even a small gift.

SHUN EVIL LIKE A PERILOUS PATH
8. Just as a merchant, with a small escort and great wealth, avoids a perilous route, just as one desiring to live avoids poison, even so should one shun evil things. 123.
Story
A merchant, accompanied by many monks, set out with a caravan. Some robbers tried to waylay him but failed in their attempt. The monks left the merchant and went to the Buddha and told Him of the attempt of the robbers. Thereupon the Buddha uttered this verse.

As a rocky mountain
is unwavering and well grounded,
so when delusion ends,
a monk, like a mountain, doesn’t tremble.
To the man who has not a blemish
who is always seeking purity,
even a hair-tip of evil
seems as big as a cloud.
As a frontier city
is guarded inside and out,
so you should ward yourselves—
don’t let the moment pass you by.
I don’t long for death;
I don’t long for life;
I await my time,
like a worker waiting for their wages.
I don’t long for death;
I don’t long for life;
I await my time,
aware and mindful.
I’ve served the teacher
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
The heavy burden is laid down,
the conduit to rebirth is eradicated.
I’ve attained the goal
for the sake of which I went forth
from the lay life to homelessness—
the ending of all fetters.
Persist with diligence:
this is my instruction.
Come, I’ll be fully extinguished—
I’m liberated in every way.

9. Pàuimhi ce vauo n'àssa
hareyya pàuinà visam
Nàbbauam visam anveti

NO EVIL TO THOSE WHO HAVE NO BAD INTENTION
9. If no wound there be in one's hand, one may carry poison in it. Poison does not affect one who has no wound. There is no ill for him who does no wrong. 7 124.
Story
A rich man's daughter, who was a Stream-Winner, fell in love with a hunter owing to past association, and eloped with him. She gave birth to several sons. The wife, although a Sotàpanna, was in the habit of giving bows and arrows to the husband to go hunting. Amongst the monks a question arose whether she committed an evil by doing so. The Buddha explained that she was blameless as she did so in obedience to her husband and having no evil intention.
