Kiṃsīla Sutta
Sutta큰 재산을 버리고 승단에 들어갔으나 아무런 영적 진전을 이루지 못한 한 청년을 위해 사리불이 드린 물음에 대한 답으로 설해진 《숫타니파타》 소품의 경으로, 시기심과 완고함이 없고 부지런하며 자제하고 무엇보다 법에 헌신하는, 진정으로 최상의 선을 구하는 이의 행실을 묘사한다.
Taught by the Buddha in reply to a question put by Sāriputta beginning with the word “kiṃsīla (what virtue?)”
Sāriputta visited the Buddha, taking with him a young man, son of a friend of his father. The youth had joined the Order under Sāriputta renouncing his immense wealth, but he could gain no attainment. Sāriputta desired him to hear an exposition by the Buddha, hence his question (SnA.i.331).
One who aspires to the highest good should not be envious, obstinate, or careless, but diligent in his training, cultivating self-restraint and chastity, intent in the dhamma, making the Dhamma his first and last concern (Sn.pp.56 f).
The ninth sutta of the Cūḷavagga of the Suttanipāta. It derives its name from the first word (kiṃsīlo) in Sāriputta’s question.
