Salla Sutta

Sutta

아들이 죽은 뒤 곡기를 끊은 슬픔에 잠긴 아버지를 위로하기 위해 설해진, 죽음은 피할 수 없고 슬퍼함은 소용없다는 것을 가르치는 경

The eighth sutta of the Mahā Vagga of the Suttanipāta. Death is inevitable, lamenting is therefore useless (SN.vss.574-93). The sutta was taught in order to console a devout patron of the Buddha who, when his son died, starved for seven days (SNA.ii.457). The sutta is described (e.g., AA.i.326) as pālivasena gandhīro.
