mn22:3.1 They went up to Ariṭṭha and said to him,
BAGIAN 3
mn22:3.2 “Is it really true, Reverend Ariṭṭha, that you have such a harmful misconception:
mn22:3.3 ‘As I understand the Buddha’s teaching, the acts that he says are obstructions are not really obstructions for the one who performs them’?”
mn22:3.4 “Indeed, reverends. As I understand the Buddha’s teaching, the acts that he says are obstructions are not really obstructions for the one who performs them.”
mn22:3.5 Then, wishing to dissuade Ariṭṭha from his view, the mendicants pursued, pressed, and grilled him,
mn22:3.6 “Don’t say that, Ariṭṭha! Don’t misrepresent the Buddha, for misrepresentation of the Buddha is not good. And the Buddha would not say that.
mn22:3.7 In many ways the Buddha has said that obstructive acts are obstructive, and that they really do obstruct the one who performs them.
mn22:3.8 The Buddha says that sensual pleasures give little gratification and much suffering and distress, and they are all the more full of drawbacks.
mn22:3.9 With the similes of a skeleton …
mn22:3.10 a scrap of meat …
mn22:3.11 a grass torch …
mn22:3.12 a pit of glowing coals …
mn22:3.13 a dream …
mn22:3.14 borrowed goods …
mn22:3.15 fruit on a tree …
mn22:3.16 a butcher’s knife and chopping board …
mn22:3.17 swords and spears …
mn22:3.18 a cobra’s head, the Buddha says that sensual pleasures give little gratification and much suffering and distress, and they are all the more full of drawbacks.”
mn22:3.19 But even though the mendicants pursued, pressed, and grilled him in this way, Ariṭṭha obstinately stuck to his misconception and insisted on it.
mn22:3.21 When they weren’t able to dissuade Ariṭṭha from his view, the mendicants went to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened.
