Hi,
While I'm still busy thinking about how everything I think I see and all
is really nimittas, I thought I'd send the following sutta (not my
translation!) which I just looked up to see whether or not the English
'limb' was indeed 'anga' in the Pali.
enjoy,
connie


Kindred Sayings, MahaVagga Book IX on Streamwinning Ch.1 Paragraph 5,
Sariputta
[Mahaavagga Ch.11. Sotaapattisam.yutta.m, Section 5.
Dutiyasaariputtasutta.m]

1001. Atha kho aayasmaa saariputto yena bhagavaa tenupasa'nkami;
upasa'nkamitvaa bhagavanta.m abhivaadetvaa ekamanta.m nisiidi. Ekamanta.m
nisinna.m kho aayasmanta.m saariputta.m bhagavaa etadavoca–

Now the venerable Sariputta went to see the Exalted One, and on coming to
him saluted him and sat down at one side. To the venerable Sariputta so
seated the Exalted One said this:


""sotaapattiya'nga.m, sotaapattiya'ngan"ti hida.m, saariputta, vuccati.
Katama.m nu kho saariputta, sotaapattiya'ngan"ti?

''A limb of stream-winning! A limb of stream-winning!' is the saying,
Sariputta. Tell me, Sariputta, of what sort is a limb of stream-winning.'


"Sappurisasa.msevo hi, bhante, sotaapattiya'nga.m, saddhammassavana.m
sotaapattiya'nga.m, yonisomanasikaaro sotaapattiya'nga.m,
dhammaanudhammappa.tipatti sotaapattiya'ngan"ti.

'Lord, association with the upright is a limb of stream-winning. Hearing
the good Dhamma is a limb of stream-winning. Applying the mind is a limb
of stream-winning. Conforming to the Dhamma is a limb of stream-winning.'


"Saadhu saadhu, saariputta! Sappurisasa.msevo hi, saariputta,
sotaapattiya'nga.m, saddhammassavana.m sotaapattiya'nga.m,
yonisomanasikaaro sotaapattiya'nga.m, dhammaanudhammappa.tipatti
sotaapattiya'nga.m".

'Well said, Sariputta! Well said, Sariputta! Indeed these are limbs of
stream-winning.


""Soto, soto"ti hida.m, saariputta, vuccati. Katamo nu kho, saariputta,
soto"ti?

Now again, Sariputta, they say: 'The stream! the stream!' Of what sort is
the stream, Sariputta?'


"Ayameva hi, bhante, ariyo a.t.tha'ngiko maggo soto, seyyathida.m–
sammaadi.t.thi, sammaasa'nkappo, sammaavaacaa, sammaakammanto,
sammaa-aajiivo, sammaavaayaamo, sammaasati, sammaasamaadhii"ti.

'The stream, lord, is just this Ariyan Eightfold Way, to wit: right view,
right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort,
right mindfulness, right concentration.'


"Saadhu saadhu, saariputta! Ayameva hi, saariputta, ariyo a.t.tha'ngiko
maggo soto, seyyathida.m– sammaadi.t.thi…pe… sammaasamaadhi".

'Well said, Sariputta! Well said, Sariputta! The stream is just this
Ariyan Eightfold Way.


""Sotaapanno sotaapanno"ti hida.m, saariputta, vuccati. Katamo nu kho,
saariputta, sotaapanno"ti

Now again, Sariputta, they say, 'Stream-winner! Stream-winner!' Of what
sort is a stream-winner, Sariputta?'


"Yo hi, bhante, iminaa ariyena a.t.tha'ngikena maggena samannaagato aya.m
vuccati sotaapanno, svaaya.m aayasmaa eva.mnaamo eva.mgotto"ti.

'Whosoever, lord, is blessed with this Ariyan Eightfold Way,-- such an one
of such a name, of such and such a clan, is called 'Stream-winner.''


"Saadhu saadhu, saariputta! Yo hi, saariputta, iminaa ariyena
a.t.tha'ngikena maggena samannaagato aya.m vuccati sotaapanno, svaaya.m
aayasmaa eva.mnaamo eva.mgotto"ti. Pa~ncama.m.

'Well said, Sariputta! Well said, Sariputta! Whoever, Sariputta, is
blessed with this Ariyan Eightfold Way, -- such an one of such a name, of
such and such a clan, is called 'Stream-winner.'"
This is the first thing.
