Rāhula Samyutta.– The eighteenth section of the Saṃyuttanikāya. It consists of a series of lessons given by the Buddha to Rāhula, showing him the fleeting nature of all things (S.ii.244-56). Buddhaghosa says (MA.ii.635 f) that these suttas were taught on various occasions, from the time Rāhula entered the Order, to the time of his attainment of Arahantship. They contain mention of qualities that mature emancipation, (vimuttiparipācanīyadhammā). (SA.ii.159).
