Siṃsapāvana Sutta

Sutta

Un discours dans lequel le Bouddha, à l’aide de l’image d’une poignée de feuilles, enseigne que ce qu’il a révélé - la souffrance, sa cause, sa cessation et le chemin - est ce qui conduit au nibbāna, contrairement au savoir non révélé, bien plus vaste

The Buddha, while staying in Siṃsapāvana in Kosambī, takes up a handful of leaves and tells the monks that the things he has discovered and not revealed, compared to those he has revealed, are as the handful of leaves to the leaves in the forest. What he has not revealed does not conduce to tranquillity, nibbāna. He has revealed suffering, its cause, cessation, and the way thereto; this does conduce to nibbāna. S.v.437.
