||क्यों कभी तथागत की धर्म देशना प्रवर्तित नहीं होती है ? ||

82 (2) Puṇṇiya Sutta पुण्णियसुत्तं
Then the Venerable Puṇṇiya approached the Blessed One, paid
homage to him, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“Bhante, why is it that at times the Tathāgata is disposed to
teach the Dhamma and at times is not disposed to teach?”1798
(1) “When, Puṇṇiya, a bhikkhu is endowed with faith but
does not approach him, the Tathāgata is not disposed to teach
the Dhamma. (2) But when a bhikkhu is endowed with faith and
approaches him, the Tathāgata is disposed to teach.
(3) “When a bhikkhu is endowed with faith and approaches
him, but he does not attend on him . . . (4) When he attends on
him but does not ask questions . . . (5) When he asks questions but does not listen to the Dhamma with eager ears . . . (6) When
he listens to the Dhamma with eager ears, but having heard it,
does not retain it in mind . . . (7) When, having heard it, he retains
it in mind but does not examine the meaning of the teachings
that have been retained in mind . . . (8) When he examines the
meaning of the teachings that have been retained in mind but
does not understand the meaning and the Dhamma and then
practice in accordance with the Dhamma, the Tathāgata is not
disposed to teach the Dhamma.
“But, Puṇṇiya, (1) when a bhikkhu is endowed with faith, [338]
(2) approaches [the Tathāgata], (3) attends [on the Tathāgata],
(4) asks questions, and (5) listens to the Dhamma with eager
ears; and (6) having heard the Dhamma, he retains it in mind,
(7) examines the meaning of the teachings he has retained in
mind, and (8) understands the meaning and the Dhamma and
then practices in accordance with the Dhamma, the Tathāgata is
disposed to teach the Dhamma. When, Puṇṇiya, one possesses
these eight qualities, the Tathāgata is entirely disposed to teach
the Dhamma
