Kīṭāgiri Sutta

Sutta

Un discours enseigné à Kīṭāgiri au groupe de moines connu sous le nom d’Assaji-Punabbasukā, qui avaient tourné en dérision la pratique consistant à ne manger qu’une fois par jour, comme le faisaient le Bouddha et ses disciples dévoués, dans lequel le Bouddha affirme que tous ses enseignements reposent sur sa propre expérience et connaissance et doivent être suivis sans de telles critiques.

Taught at Kīṭāgiri to the Assaji-Punabbasukā, who were reported to the Buddha as having ridiculed the idea that they should themselves have only one meal a day because the Buddha and his devoted disciples did so. The Buddha sent for them and impressed on them that all his teachings were based on experience and knowledge and should therefore be followed by them. Chaffering such as their’s was not seemly in the seeker after truth (M.i.473 ff).
