Madhura Sutta

Sutta

마두라의 아반티풋타 왕이 바라문의 우월성 주장에 관해 마하깟짜야나에게 묻고, 재산과 업과 종교적 존경이 모든 계급에 똑같이 적용됨을 보이자 부처님의 가르침에 귀의하게 되는 경이다.

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.
