Buddha
Guru yang membandingkan kenikmatan indria dengan rasa lega semu dari penyakit.
Khotbah kepada Māgaṇḍiya
Māgaṇḍiya menganggap kenikmatan indria sebagai kebahagiaan. Buddha menjawab dengan gambaran seorang penderita kusta yang menggaruk luka di dekat api: sesuatu dapat terasa nikmat justru karena penyakit belum sembuh. Inilah Māgaṇḍiya Sutta.

Guru yang membandingkan kenikmatan indria dengan rasa lega semu dari penyakit.
Pengembara yang mempertanyakan mengapa Buddha meninggalkan kenikmatan dunia.
Permukiman di negeri Kuru tempat dialog berlangsung.
Kenikmatan yang bergantung pada nafsu tidak sebanding dengan kedamaian batin yang telah sembuh dari kemelekatan.
mn75:22.1 “I am quite confident that the worthy Gotama
mn75:22.2 is capable of teaching me so that I can know health and see extinguishment.”
mn75:22.3 “Māgaṇḍiya, suppose a person was blind from birth.
mn75:22.4 They couldn’t see sights that are dark or bright, or blue, yellow, red, or magenta. They couldn’t see even and uneven ground, or the stars, or the moon and sun.
mn75:22.5 Their friends and colleagues, relatives and kin would get a surgeon to treat them.
mn75:22.6 The surgeon would make medicine for them,
mn75:22.7 but when they used it their eyes were not cured and they still could not see clearly.
mn75:22.8 What do you think, Māgaṇḍiya?
mn75:22.9 Wouldn’t that doctor just get weary and frustrated?”
mn75:22.10 “Yes, worthy Gotama.”
mn75:22.11 “In the same way, suppose I were to teach you the Dhamma, saying:
mn75:22.12 ‘This is that health, this is that extinguishment.’ But you might not know health or see extinguishment,
mn75:22.13 which would be wearying and troublesome for me.”
