Abhayasutta

sn46.56:1.1 So I have heard.

sn46.56:1.2 At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain.

sn46.56:1.3 Then Prince Abhaya went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:

sn46.56:1.4 “Sir, Pūraṇa Kassapa says this:

sn46.56:1.5 ‘There is no cause or reason for not knowing and not seeing.

sn46.56:1.6 Not knowing and not seeing have no cause or reason.

sn46.56:1.7 There is no cause or reason for knowing and seeing.

sn46.56:1.8 Knowing and seeing have no cause or reason.’

sn46.56:1.9 What does the Buddha say about this?”

sn46.56:1.10 “Prince, there are causes and reasons for not knowing and not seeing.

sn46.56:1.11 Not knowing and not seeing have causes and reasons.

sn46.56:1.12 There are causes and reasons for knowing and seeing.

sn46.56:1.13 Knowing and seeing have causes and reasons.”
