26. "I see no ground on which any recluse... or anyone at all could accuse me thus: ”When you teach the Dhamma to someone, it does not lead him when he practices it to the complete destruction of suffering.” And seeing no ground for that, I abide in safety, fearlessness and intrepidity.

Possessing these four kinds of intrepidity, the Tathagata approaches and enters these eight assemblies.
