Asibandhakaputta Sutta

Sutta

Also known as Pacchābhūmaka Sutta

Eine Lehrrede, in der ein Dorfvorsteher den Buddha fragt, ob er Menschen wie manche Brahmanen der westlichen Grenzgebiete behaupten in den Himmel senden könne, und der Buddha erklärt, dass das Schicksal eines Menschen allein von der Lebensführung abhängt.

v.l. Pacchābhūmaka Sutta.– Once, when the Buddha was at the Pāvārikambavana (Pāvārika’s mango grove), Asibandhakaputta visited him and asks if he claims to be able to send men to heaven as do the Pacchābhūmaka brahmins.

The Buddha explains to him that a man’s destiny depends on the life he leads; no one else can send him to heaven or to a place of suffering. S.iv.311 f.
