MN 76

Sandakasutta

With Sandaka

Majjhima Nikāya · Terj. Bhikkhu Sujato

mn76:11.1 A sensible person reflects on this matter in this way:

mn76:11.2 ‘This teacher has such a doctrine and view.

mn76:11.7 If what that teacher says is true, both I who have not accomplished this and one who has accomplished it

mn76:11.8 have attained exactly the same level. Yet I’m not one who says that when both of us act, nothing wrong is done.

mn76:11.9 But it’s superfluous for this teacher to go nude, bald, persisting in squatting, tearing out their hair and beard. For I’m living at home with my children, using sandalwood imported from Kāsi, wearing garlands, fragrance, and makeup, and accepting gold and currency. Yet I’ll have exactly the same destiny in the next life as this teacher.

mn76:11.10 What do I know or see that I should lead the spiritual life under this teacher?

mn76:11.12 Realizing this, they leave disappointed.
