There are, Brāhmin, these three kinds of wonders.

What three?

1. The mystic wonder,
2. The wonder of mind-reading, and
3. The wonder of instruction.

(1) And what, Brāhmin, is the mystic wonder?

Here, a Monk wields the various kinds of mystic potency: having been one, he becomes many; having been many, he becomes one; he appears and vanishes; he goes unhindered through a wall, through a protective barrier, through a mountain as though through space; he dives in and out of the earth as though it were water; he walks on water without sinking as though it were earth; seated cross-legged, he travels in space like a bird; with his hand he touches and strokes the moon and sun so powerful and mighty; he exercises mastery with the body as far as the Brahmā world.

This is called the mystic wonder.

(2) And what, Brāhmin, is the wonder of mind-reading?

There is one who, by means of some clue, declares: Your thought is thus, such is what you are thinking, your mind is in such and such a state. And even if he makes many declarations, they are exactly so and not otherwise.
