Pāsādika Sutta

Sutta

Die neunundzwanzigste Lehrrede des Dīghanikāya, veranlasst durch die Nachricht vom Tod des Jaina-Führers Nigaṇṭha Nāṭaputta und den Streit unter dessen Anhängern, in der der Buddha erklärt, warum solche Zwietracht bei mangelhafter Lehre unvermeidlich war, und dann die Eigenschaften eines vollkommenen Lehrers und einer vollkommenen Lehre darlegt, verkörpert vom Tathāgata selbst.

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.
