Cūḷaccharāsaṅghāta Sutta
SuttaMột bài kinh dạy rằng chỉ cần tu tập một niệm từ tâm trong khoảnh khắc búng ngón tay cũng xứng đáng được gọi là một tỳ-kheo chân chính, được giảng để trấn an các tỳ-kheo hoảng sợ bởi một bài kinh trước đó về những nguy hiểm của sự buông lung.
If for just the duration of a finger-snap a monk cultivates a thought of goodwill and cultivates a thought of goodwill, he is verily to be called a monk. Earnestness, above all other things, encourages the arising of good states; indulgence, worst of all things, encourages evil states (A.i.10).
It is said (AA.i.40) that this sutta was taught at Jetavana to counteract the effects of the Aggikkhandhopama Sutta, which frightened many monks, causing them to revert to the lay life, the Order being thereby greatly impoverished in numbers. The present sutta was designed to reassure those who were in doubt.
