Āni Sutta

Sutta

Un discours comparant les discours profonds du Tathāgata au tambour Ānaka des Dasārahas, dont la peau a disparu ne laissant que le cadre de bois, avertissant que dans les temps à venir les moines négligeront les enseignements profonds du Bouddha au profit des compositions verbeuses des poètes et disciples.

Like the Ānaka drum of the Dasārahas, in which the drumhead vanished, leaving only the framework of pegs, even so is it with the discourses of the Tathāgata which are deep in meaning. They lie neglected and forgotten while men will turn their attention to the discourses of poets and the utterances of disciples, full of words; these they will learn and master instead of the Buddha’s own teachings. S.ii.266-7.
