Dantabhūmi Sutta
SuttaEine Lehrrede, in der der Novize Aciravata die Frage des Prinzen Jayasena, wie ein disziplinierter Mönch inneren Frieden findet, nicht befriedigend beantworten kann, was den Buddha veranlasst, anhand der Zähmung eines wilden Elefanten und anderer Gleichnisse zu erklären, warum jemand, der zu sehr am Vergnügen hängt, solche Dinge nicht erfassen kann.
The 125th discourse of the Majjhimanikāya. Jayasena visits the novice Aciravata at the Forest Hut in Veḷuvana and asks him to explain how a monk whose life is strenuous and purged of self can find peace in his heart.
At the end of Aciravata’s discourse, Jayasena leaves him, complaining that the matter is not at all clear to him.
Aciravata mentions the matter to the Buddha, who says that Jayasena cannot understand such matters, being too fond of pleasure, and undisciplined.
He illustrates his meaning by various examples, one being a description of the catching and taming of a wild elephant. M.iii.128 ff.
