Madhura Sutta
SuttaEine Lehrrede, in der König Avantiputta von Madhurā den Mönch Mahā-Kaccāna zu den Überlegenheitsansprüchen der Brahmanen befragt und ihm gezeigt wird, dass Reichtum, Karma und religiöse Achtung gleichermaßen für alle Kasten gelten, was ihn dazu bringt, Zuflucht in der Lehre des Buddha zu nehmen.
Avantiputta, king of Madhurā, visits Mahā-Kaccāna, who is staying at the Gundāvana in Madhurā, some time after the Buddha’s death, and questions him regarding the brahmin claims to superiority over other castes. Kaccāna points out that wealth confers power on all, not only on brahmins. A brahmin experiences the result of his actions both good and bad, in this world and in the next, just as do members of other castes. A brahmin ascetic receives no more homage than an ascetic of other castes. Avantiputta accepts the Buddha’s Faith. M.ii.83-90; cp. Ambaṭṭha Sutta; for a discussion see Dial.i.105.
