Bhūmija Sutta

Sutta

ブーミジャ長老が甥ジャヤセーナに正見を説いたことを仏陀が認め敷衍した経典であり、仏陀は邪見を砂から油を搾り出そうとする試みに喩えた。

Bhūmija Thera once went to the house of his nephew Jayasena in Rājagaha.

Jayasena questioned him about the Buddha’s teaching, and, pleased with what he heard, entertained Bhūmija to a meal.

Bhūmija reported this to the Buddha, who approved of what he had said to Jayasena and further developed the theme.

Right view (sammā-diṭṭhi) is absolutely essential to the winning of the fruits of the higher life; it is just as impossible to get oil out of sand or milk from a cow’s horn at it is to obtain the fruits of higher life with a wrong view (micchā-diṭṭhi). M.iii.138 ff.
