Hi,

I found this on the internet.

Can anyone tell me which sutta can the passage be found?

Thanks, rahula

Sariputta, the chief disciple of the Buddha, said that one man might
live in a forest devoting himself to ascetic practices, but might be
full of impure thoughts and 'defilements'. Another might live in a
village or a town, practising no ascetic discipline, but his mind
might be pure, and free from 'defilements'. 'Of these two,' said,
Sariputta, 'the one who lives a pure life in the village or town is
definitely far superior to, and greater than, the one who lives in
the forest.' (Majjhima Nikaya)
