MN 74

Dīghanakhasutta

With Dīghanakha

Majjhima Nikāya · Terj. Bhikkhu Sujato

mn74:8.1 When it comes to the view of the ascetics and brahmins to whom

mn74:8.2 some things are acceptable and some things are not,

mn74:8.3 a sensible person reflects like this:

mn74:8.5 some things are acceptable and some things are not.

mn74:8.6 Suppose I were to obstinately stick to this view and insist,

mn74:8.7 “This is the only truth, anything else is futile.”

mn74:8.8 Then I’d argue with two individuals—

mn74:8.9 an ascetic or brahmin to whom everything is acceptable,

mn74:8.10 and an ascetic or brahmin to whom nothing is acceptable.

mn74:8.12 And when there’s arguing, there’s dispute; when there’s dispute there’s distress; and when there’s distress there’s harm.’

mn74:8.13 So, considering in themselves the potential for argument, dispute, distress, and harm, they give up that view by not grasping another view.

mn74:8.14 That’s how those views are given up and let go.
