sn45.41:1.2 “Mendicants, if wanderers who follow another religion were to ask you:
sn45.41:1.3 ‘Reverends, what’s the goal of leading the spiritual life under the ascetic Gotama?’ You should answer them like this:
sn45.41:1.4 ‘The goal of leading the spiritual life under the Buddha is the fading away of greed.’
sn45.41:1.5 If wanderers of other religions were to ask you:
sn45.41:1.6 ‘Is there a path and a practice for the fading away of greed?’ You should answer them like this:
sn45.41:1.7 ‘There is a path and a practice for the fading away of greed.’
sn45.41:1.8 And what is that path, what is that practice for the fading away of greed?
sn45.41:1.9 It is simply this noble eightfold path, that is:
sn45.41:1.10 right view, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion.
sn45.41:1.11 This is the path, this is the practice for the fading away of greed.
sn45.41:1.12 When questioned by wanderers of other religions, that’s how you should answer them.”
