The story of Susimamanava who was the son of Sangkha Brahmin in Taxila city. When he was 13 years old, he wanted to study the arts. So the father sent him to study at the school of Disapamokkha teacher who was his friend. When Susimamanava finished his studies, he wanted to continue his studies. So I asked the teacher. The teacher advised him to go and study with an indivitual Buddha who was living at Isipatana Marugadayavana forest. When he arrived, he asked the indivitual Buddha, what is the ultimate wisdom? The indivitual Buddha replied that if you want to know that what is the ultimate wisdom? You have to be ordained and practice morality only. When Susimamanava heard that, he asked to be ordained in Buddhism.
