Sunīta was a highly accomplished disciple of the Buddha. He was born in a family of untouchables whose job was of sweeping around the temple area. According to Thanissaro Bhikkhu's translation of the Theragāthā account, Sunīta laments: "People found me disgusting,despised me, disparaged me.Lowering my heart,I showed reverence to many." Sunīta continues, describing his meeting with the Buddha and ordination: The compassionate Teacher,sympathetic to all the world, said:"Come monk."That was my formal Acceptance.
