Vijaya Sutta

Sutta

Un discours, aussi appelé Kāyavicchandanika Sutta, sur la nature impure et répugnante du corps, enseigné à la fois pour aider la nonne Janapadakalyāṇī-Nandā vers une réalisation supérieure et de nouveau aux funérailles de Sirimā.

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.
