Buddha
Guru yang menguji pandangan tentang karma lampau, tapa keras, dan jalan berakhirnya penderitaan.
Khotbah di Devadaha

Di Devadaha, Buddha membahas pandangan para Nigaṇṭha yang menekankan bahwa penderitaan sekarang terutama berasal dari perbuatan lampau dan harus dihabiskan melalui tapa keras. Buddha menilai pandangan itu tidak cukup dan menunjukkan jalan yang lebih jernih menuju berakhirnya penderitaan. Inilah Devadaha Sutta.

Guru yang menguji pandangan tentang karma lampau, tapa keras, dan jalan berakhirnya penderitaan.
Kelompok petapa Jain yang dijadikan contoh dalam pembahasan tentang penderitaan dan karma.
Kota Sakya tempat Buddha menyampaikan pembahasan ini kepada para bhikkhu.
Sutta ini menolak penyederhanaan bahwa penderitaan sekarang hanya akibat masa lalu; latihan harus dipahami melalui sebab, pilihan, dan pelepasan yang nyata.
mn101:42.1 When their mind has become immersed in samādhi like this—purified, bright, flawless, rid of corruptions, pliable, workable, steady, and imperturbable—they extend it toward recollection of past lives.
mn101:42.2 They recollect many kinds of past lives, that is, one, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand rebirths; many eons of the world contracting, many eons of the world expanding, many eons of the world contracting and expanding. They remember: ‘There, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn somewhere else. There, too, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn here.’ And so they recollect their many kinds of past lives, with features and details.
mn101:42.3 That too is how exertion and striving is fruitful.
