The Buddha Sent Out 61 Awakened Disciples To Distribute the Gifts of Dhamma to the World
Soon the Buddha had 61 enlightened disciples who embody the dharma , so he sent them out to share the gifts of dharma with others:
"Bhikkhus , I am free of all bonds, human and divine. And you, too, are now free. Wander forth, O bhikkhus, for the welfare of the multitude, for the world's happiness, out of compassion for the world, for the good, welfare, and happiness of devas and humans. Let not two go the same way. And teach, O bhikkhus, the dhamma that is good in the beginning, good in the middle, good in the end; with the right meaning and phrasing; to all who hear, proclaim the perfect, the pure, the holy life. There are some who are not blinded by the dust of the earth, but they will not find liberation if they do not hear the dharma proclaimed. There will be those who will understand the Dhamma. I too, bhikkhus, will go to Senanigama in Uruvela in order to teach the Dhamma."
