Cūḷataṇhāsaṅkhaya Sutta
SuttaEine Lehrrede, in der der Buddha Sakka kurz erklärt, wie ein Mönch durch die Zerstörung des Begehrens befreit wird, worauf Mahā-Moggallāna, zweifelnd, ob Sakka die Lehre wirklich erfasst habe, ihn besucht, zunächst mit einer ausweichenden Zurschaustellung göttlicher Macht empfangen wird und die richtige Antwort erst erhält, nachdem er Sakkas Palast erschüttert hat.
Sakka visits the Buddha at the Migārāmatupāsāda and asks him how a monk can be delivered by the extirpation of craving and become foremost among gods and men. The Buddha briefly explains, and Sakka leaves him after expressing his satisfaction.
Mahā-Moggallāna, desiring to know if Sakka has really understood the teaching, visits him and asks him the same question. Sakka evades this question and, accompanied by Vessavaṇa, conducts Moggallāna through his palace, Vejayanta, in order to demonstrate his power. Moggallāna causes the palace to quake and, seeing the agitation of Sakka, again asks him the same question; Sakka gives the Buddha’s explanation, word for word, and Moggallāna is satisfied. M.i.251 ff
