Shining Obhāsasutta

ā€œMendicants, there are four kinds of shining. ā€œCattārome, bhikkhave, obhāsā. What four? Katame cattāro? The shining of the moon, sun, fire, and wisdom. Candobhāso, sÅ«riyobhāso, aggobhāso, paƱƱobhāso—These are the four kinds of shining. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro obhāsā. The best of these four kinds of shining is the shining of wisdom.ā€ Etadaggaṁ, bhikkhave, imesaṁ catunnaṁ obhāsānaṁ yadidaṁ paƱƱobhāsoā€ti.

Catutthaṁ.
