Migasālā Sutta

Sutta

범행을 지키는 제자와 지키지 않는 제자가 어떻게 똑같이 도솔천에 다시 태어났는지에 대한 재가 여신도 미가살라의 의문을 아난다가 부처님께 전하고, 사람들의 영적 성취의 다양함을 진정으로 헤아릴 수 있는 것은 오직 여래뿐이라고 부처님이 설명하는 경.

Ānanda visits Migasālā in her home and is questioned as to why both Purāṇa and Isidatta, the former of whom was a celibate (brahmacārī) and the latter not, should both have been born in Tusita, as Once-Returners. Ānanda offers no explanation, but consults the Buddha, who declares that Migasālā is but a foolish, frail, woman with none but a mother’s wit; how, then, could she understand the diversity in the person of man? (purisa-puggala-paropariya-ñāṇa). The Buddha then goes on to divide men into six classes according to their capabilities and attainments. It is not possible for anyone, save a Tathāgata, to measure persons. A.iii.347 ff; v. 137 ff.
