MN 35

Cūḷasaccakasutta

The Shorter Discourse With Saccaka

Majjhima Nikāya · Terj. Bhikkhu Sujato

mn35:2.1 Now at that time Saccaka, the son of Jain parents, was staying in Vesālī. He was a controversialist who pretended to be astute and was deemed holy by many people.

mn35:2.2 He was telling a crowd in Vesālī,

mn35:2.3 “I don’t see any ascetic or brahmin who would not shake and rock and tremble, sweating from the armpits, were I to take them on in debate—not a leader of an order or a community, or the tutor of a community, and not even one who claims to be a perfected one, a fully awakened Buddha.

mn35:2.4 Even an insentient post would shake and rock and tremble were I to take it on in debate.

mn35:2.5 How much more then a human being!”
