Dantabhūmi Sutta
SuttaUn discours où le novice Aciravata ne parvient pas à répondre de façon satisfaisante à la question du prince Jayasena sur la manière dont un moine discipliné trouve la paix intérieure, poussant le Bouddha à expliquer, par le dressage d’un éléphant sauvage entre autres similes, pourquoi quelqu’un trop épris de plaisir ne peut saisir de telles choses.
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.
