Do you know what a stream enterer is? In the Buddha’s teachings we

say that someone has entered the stream when they have a deep

understanding of the Dhamma and the Four Noble Truths in a way that

cleans the mind in a special way. The thought that our body is really

who we are gets removed from the mind. Any doubts we have in the

Buddha’s teachings are removed from the mind. And wrong ideas about

actions and their results are removed from the mind. Once they are

removed in this way, they can never come back. And this means that

this kind of person can’t be reborn in the bad worlds and can only

be reborn as a human or a god. And most importantly it means that

person will attain Nibbāna within seven lifetimes, guaranteed.

So what do you think? Is this something valuable? Today we’ll learn

about a child, maybe like us, who didn’t really know what is

valuable and what is not.
