Sāketa Sutta

Sutta

一經是佛陀在娑雞多所說,說明五根與五力其實是同一組德目的兩種稱法,此名後來也用來指該地比丘曾爭論的一個問題——一次意欲造作的業究竟引發一次結生還是多次,精通阿毗達摩的長老們最終以「一顆芒果只生一芽」為喻裁定為一次。

Sāketa Sutta.– The Buddha explains to the monks at Sāketa how to reckon the five controlling faculties (indriya) as the five powers (bala), and the five powers as the five controlling faculties. By developing them, release can be attained. S.v.219 f.

Sāketa Pañha.– The Aṭṭhasālinī (DhSA.267) mentions that the elder Tipiṭaka Mahādhammarakkhita, in talking of consciousness, once referred to the Sāketa Pañha.

It is said that in Sāketa the monks raised the query, “When by one volition kamma is put forth, is there one conception only, or different conceptions?” Unable to decide, they consulted the elders well-versed in the Abhidhamma, who declared that just as from one mango only one sprout puts forth, so by one volition there is only one conception, and for different volitions, different conceptions.
