Tevijja Sutta

Sutta

Die dreizehnte Lehrrede des Dīghanikāya, gelehrt an Vāseṭṭha und Bhāradvāja, die die Vorstellung widerlegt, dass bloße Kenntnis der drei Veden zur Vereinigung mit Brahmā führe, und die vier Erhabenen Verweilungen als wahren Pfad lehrt

The thirteenth sutta of the Dīghanikāya, taught to Vāseṭṭha and Bhāradvāja who visited the Buddha at Manasākata.

The Buddha points out the futility of the belief that a mere knowledge of the Three Vedas leads to the attainment of reunion with Brahmā.

Such union can, however, be attained only by the practice of the four Sublime Abidings (Brahmavihāra) — loving-kindness (mettā), compassion (karuṇā), sympathetic-joy (muditā), and equanimity (upekkhā). D.i.235-53.
