Vijaya Sutta
SuttaEine auch als Kāyavicchandanika-Sutta bekannte Lehrrede über die unreine und abstoßende Natur des Körpers, die sowohl der Nonne Janapadakalyāṇī-Nandā zu höherer Errungenschaft verhelfen als auch bei Sirimās Bestattung erneut gelehrt worden sein soll.
The eleventh sutta of the Uraga Vagga of the Suttanipāta.
According to Buddhaghosa (SNA.i.241 f), this sutta was taught on two occasions: once to Janapadakalyāṇī-Nandā, following her attainment of Stream-winning, in order to help her to higher attainment — and again when the Buddha took the monks to the funeral of Sirimā, sister of Jīvaka. The sutta is also called the Kāyavicchandanika Sutta.
The sutta is a discourse on the foul nature of the body, full of impurities flowing in nine streams; when dead, nobody cares for it. Only a monk, possessed of wisdom, understands it and reflects on its worthlessness. SN. vs.193-206; cf. J.i.146.
