Silāyūpa Sutta

Sutta

एक सुत्त जिसमें सारिपुत्त भिक्षुओं से कहते हैं कि पूर्णतः विमुक्त भिक्षु का मन इंद्रिय-विषयों से अभिभूत नहीं हो सकता, इसकी तुलना गहरे गड़े पत्थर के खंभे से करते हैं जिसे हवा नहीं हिला सकती; यह देवदत्त की शिक्षाओं पर चंडिकापुत्त से हुए विवाद के बाद कहा गया।

Sāriputta tells the monks that when a monk is wholly freed, objects, sounds, scents, etc., that come within the range of his senses, cannot overwhelm his mind. It is like a stone column sixteen cubits ¹ (kukkuka) long, one half of it buried in the ground, which cannot be shaken by the wind.

The sutta was taught as the result of a conversation between Sāriputta and Candikāputta regarding the teachings of Devadatta. A.iv.402 f.

Sāriputta contradicts the explanation given by Candikāputta regarding the teaching of Devadatta.
