B. Kokanada question

 Yep — Kokanada Sutta is a real one. It’s usually listed as:

AN 10.96 — Kokanada Sutta (Aṅguttara Nikāya, Book of the Tens)

What it’s about (clean summary)

In this sutta, the Buddha is basically making a point about who deserves respect and offerings — and it’s not based on:

• birth
• caste
• being a “priest”
• performing rituals
• reputation

Instead, the Buddha says the people truly worthy of honor are those who have genuine inner qualities, like:

• virtue (sīla)
• restraint
• meditation development
• wisdom
• liberation (or moving strongly toward it)

The vibe of the sutta

It’s a very “don’t be fooled by appearances” teaching.

Like:

Respect the person who’s actually purified their mind — not the person wearing the costume.

If you want, I can also pull out the key lines of the sutta in a readable translation and break them down.
