Pāsādika Sutta

Sutta

자이나교 지도자 니간타 나타풋타의 죽음과 그 뒤를 이은 제자들 사이의 분쟁 소식을 계기로 설해진 《장부》 제29경으로, 부처님은 그러한 불화가 결함 있는 가르침 때문에 필연적이었던 이유를 설명하신 뒤, 여래 자신을 본보기로 삼아 진정으로 완전한 스승과 가르침의 자질을 상세히 밝히신다.

The twenty ninth sutta of the Dīghanikāya.

Cunda-Samaṇuddesa, who had been spending the rainy season at Pāvā, returns and reports to Ānanda the death of Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta and the consequent wrangling that had broken out among the Nigaṇṭhā. Together they visit the Buddha at Sāmagāma and tell him of it. He replies that this is to be expected from the character of Nāṭaputta and from the doctrine that he taught. The Buddha then proceeds to give in detail the qualities of the perfect teacher and the perfect teaching. The Tathāgata is such a teacher and the Dhamma such a teaching (D.iii.117-41).

In the Pāsādika Sutta the threefold training is called brahmacariya. DA.i.179; MA.i.275.
