Kūṭa sutta: A Roof Peak
Kūṭasutta
Opammavagga
As rafters depend on the roof-peak, unwholesome qualities depend on ignorance.
Översättningar
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
There the Buddha … said:
“Mendicants, the rafters of a bungalow all lean to the peak and meet at the peak, and when the peak is demolished they’re all demolished too. In the same way all unskillful qualities are rooted in ignorance and meet in ignorance, and when ignorance is demolished they’re all demolished too.
So you should train like this: ‘We will stay diligent.’ That’s how you should train.”
