Sutta

此经为《经集》〈大品〉第十一经,是佛陀初转法轮后第七日对仙人阿私陀之甥 Nālaka 所说,阐明沙门应有的修行之道,经前另附有讲述阿私陀与 Nālaka 故事的引言偈颂。

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).
