sn42.8:1.1 At one time the Buddha was staying near Nāḷandā in Pāvārika’s Mango Grove.
sn42.8:1.2 Then Asibandhaka’s son the chief, who was a disciple of the Jains, went up to the Buddha, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him,
sn42.8:1.3 “Chief, how does the Jain ascetic of the Ñātika clan teach his disciples?”
sn42.8:1.4 “Sir, this is how the Jain Ñātika teaches his disciples:
sn42.8:1.5 ‘Everyone who kills a living creature, steals, commits sexual misconduct, or lies goes to a place of loss, to hell.
sn42.8:1.6 You’re led on by what you frequently live by.’
sn42.8:1.7 This is how the Jain Ñātika teaches his disciples.”
sn42.8:1.8 “‘You’re led on by what you usually live by’: if this were true, then, according to what the Jain Ñātika says, no one would go to a place of loss, to hell.
