Tatiyapabbata sutta: A Mountain (3rd)

Tatiyapabbatasutta

Abhisamayavagga

For someone who has seen the truth, the suffering eliminated is like the Sineru, king of mountains; what remains is like seven bits of gravel.

Traduzioni

At Sāvatthī.

“Mendicants, suppose a person was to place on Sineru, the king of mountains, seven pebbles the size of mung beans.

What do you think, mendicants? Which is more: the seven pebbles the size of mung beans, or Sineru, the king of mountains?”

“Sir, Sineru, the king of mountains, is certainly more. The seven pebbles the size of mung beans are tiny. Compared to Sineru, it’s not nearly a hundredth, a thousandth, or a hundred thousandth part.”

“In the same way, compared with the achievements of a noble disciple accomplished in view, the achievements of the ascetics, brahmins, and wanderers of other religions is not nearly a hundredth, a thousandth, or a hundred thousandth part. So great is the achievement of the individual accomplished in view, so great is their direct knowledge.”
