Can someone help with this? Ajahn Thaniya made a
reference to a certain sutta in the current issue of
"Inquiring Mind":

"There's a fascinating sutta about two great friends
who are "once-returners". One lives a household life,
rides around in a carriage, has a wife. The other is
celi-
bate and lives quite an austere life. When the
daughter
of the celibate disciple challenges the Buddha about
whether her father's friend who is married and lives
the life of householder can truly be as far along the
path as her renunciate father, the Buddha really tells
her off. What I take from this is that one can't
simply
look at somebody's lifestyle to determine their level
of
cultivation."

It does sound fascinating to me.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Wishes,
Paul Cooney
