TOKOH & TEMPAT

Sinopsis singkat

Dalam sutta ini, Sang Buddha menjelaskan bahwa moralitas (sīla) adalah fondasi penting bagi perkembangan spiritual. Tanpa moralitas, konsentrasi benar, pengetahuan sesuai kenyataan, kejijikan, kebosanan, dan akhirnya pengetahuan kebebasan tidak dapat tumbuh. Sebaliknya, dengan moralitas yang sempurna, seluruh rangkaian kualitas ini berkembang hingga mencapai kebebasan. Perumpamaan pohon digunakan untuk mengilustrasikan bagaimana akar yang sehat memungkinkan seluruh bagian pohon tumbuh subur.
