TOKOH & TEMPAT

Sinopsis singkat

Brahmana Tikaṇṇa mendatangi Buddha dan memuji para brahmana yang menguasai tiga Veda. Buddha kemudian menjelaskan perbedaan antara penguasaan tiga pengetahuan versi brahmana—yang hanya berdasarkan kelahiran, silsilah, dan hafalan mantra—dengan tiga pengetahuan sejati dalam disiplin Yang Mulia, yaitu pengetahuan mengingat kehidupan lampau, pengetahuan tentang kematian dan kelahiran kembali makhluk, serta pengetahuan hancurnya kekotoran batin. Di akhir sutta, Tikaṇṇa mengakui keunggulan ajaran Buddha dan berlindung sebagai umat awam.
