Paṭhama Migajāla Sutta

Sutta

A discourse, the first teaching to Migajāla, in which the Buddha explains that one who delights in sense objects is truly ‘living with a companion,’ while one who has abandoned craving is truly ‘a dweller in solitude,’ regardless of physical circumstances.

Migajāla visits the Buddha and asks what is meant by a dweller in solitude (ekavihārī) and what by one living with a companion (sadutiyavihārī). The Buddha answers that he who is enamoured of objects of sense is “one living with a companion,” while he who has cast off craving is “a dweller in solitude.” S.iv.35 f.
