Asurindaka Sutta

Sutta

親族の出家に怒り、仏陀を罵るバラモンの話と、仏陀の沈黙、そして怒りに怒りで応じない者は二重の勝利を得るとの教えを記す経典。

Recounts an interview between the Buddha and Asurindaka Bhāradvāja in Veluvaņa. When Asurindaka heard that Bhāradvāja (probably the chief of the clan) had entered the Order, he was greatly vexed, and going up to the Buddha he abused him. The Buddha remaining silent, Asurindaka thought that he acknowledged defeat. However, the Buddha enlightened him, saying that the worse of the two is he who, when reviled, reviles back; he who does not so revile wins a twofold victory: he seeks the good both of himself and of the other (S.i.163 f; SA.i.178).
