Samaṇamuṇḍikā Sutta

Sutta

Also known as Samaṇamaṇḍikā

一經講述遊方沙門郁伽訶摩那主張真正的勝利沙門只需身語意不作惡、以正當方式謀生即可,佛陀卻指出照此定義連一個毫無能力的嬰兒也可稱為沙門,進而說明真正的成就標誌在於圓滿修習八正道並具足究竟的智慧與解脫。

v.l. Samaṇamaṇḍikā.– Pañcakaṅga, on his way to the Buddha, visits the wanderer (paribbājaka) Uggāhamāna-Samaṇamuṇḍikāputta at the Samayappavādaka in the Tindukācīra in the Mallikārāma. Uggāhamāna tells him that, in his view, the triumphant recluse is he who does no evil, says and thinks no evil, and earns his living in no evil way. Pañcakaṅga reports this to the Buddha, who says that, according to Uggāhamāna, a tiny babe on its back would be such a recluse! No, says the Buddha, the triumphant recluse is one who is an adept in the Noble Eightfold Path and in utter knowledge and in utter deliverance, and he goes on to describe such a recluse in detail. M.ii.22-9.
