Madhura Sutta

Sutta

マドゥラーの王アヴァンティプッタが、バラモンの優越性の主張についてマハー・カッチャーヤナに質問し、富、業、宗教的尊敬はすべての階級に等しく当てはまると示され、仏陀の教えに帰依するに至るという経典である。

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.
