MN 27 Cūḷahatthipadopama sutta - The Lesser Discourse on the Simile of the Elephant’s Footprint

Using the simile of an elephant’s footprint, the Buddha illustrates how confidence in him develops gradually through practice. A noble disciple trains in conduct, sense restraint, contentment, and mindfulness, progressing through the |jhānas::::jah-naas|. Unshakable confidence in the Buddha, Dhamma, and Saṅgha arises through direct knowledge and liberation.
