Nālaka Sutta

Sutta

此經為《經集》〈大品〉第十一經,是佛陀初轉法輪後第七日對仙人阿私陀之甥 Nālaka 所說,闡明沙門應有的修行之道,經前另附有講述阿私陀與 Nālaka 故事的引言偈頌。

The eleventh sutta of the Mahā Vagga of the Suttanipāta. Taught, seven days after the first discourse, to Nālaka (q.v.), nephew of Asita. The sutta itself is a discourse on the practice of a recluse (Moneyya-paṭipadā), but there are twenty introductory verses (called Vatthugāthā) giving the story of Asita and Nālaka (SN.vs. 679-723; SNA.ii.501).

The sutta is also called Nālaka paṭipadā. (J.i.55).
