Cūḷavedalla Sutta

Sutta

Un discours dans lequel une nonne répond aux questions d’un laïc sur la vue de la personnalité, le Noble Octuple Sentier et les formations mentales, confirmé plus tard par le Bouddha comme étant exactement ce qu’il aurait lui-même enseigné.

Visākha visits Dhammadinnā and asks her a series of questions on personality, the Noble Eightfold Path, mental formations (saṅkhārā), etc. Dhammadinnā explains these things to Visākha, who then consults the Buddha as to whether the explanations are correct.

The Buddha tells him that he himself would have given the same answers and praises Dhammadinnā’s erudition (M.i.299 f).

The sutta forms a kind of commentary on certain psychological terms, such as the personality (sakkāya), mental formations (saṅkhāra), etc.

See Vedalla.
