Vassa
Other방냐와 짝을 이루어 욱깔라의 왓사반냐라 불린 집단으로, 인과와 실재를 부정하면서도 부처의 가르침 일부는 받아들였다.
Mentioned with Bhañña in the compound Vassabhaññā, as dwellers of Ukkalā and as “denying cause, consequence and reality.”
There were certain aspects of the Buddha’s teaching that even they would accept (e.g., S.iii.73; A.ii.31; M.iii.78).
Buddhaghosa explains (AA.ii.497; MA.ii.894) Vassabhañña as “Vasso ca Bhañño cāti dve janā.”
