To Jivaka
- Jivaka Sutta
This is the discourse in
which the Buddha lays
down his rules for
eating meat. He clearly
states that what makes
food permissible and
blameless has to do with
the attitude with which
the food is eaten,
rather than the food
itself, in this case,
meat.

discourse also describes
the progressive pleasure
one attains from the
eight meditative
attainments, and from
the attainment of
cessation.

The monk who was given
this discourse by the
Buddha was prepared to
leave the holy life if
the Buddha could not
declare what he had left
undeclared. The Buddha

he has and has not
declared and why. The
monk was satisfied.

The Simile of
the Quail - Laṭukikopama
Sutta
The Buddha gives
a teaching to
Ven. Udāyin on
the importance
of abandoning
every fetter, no
matter how
trivial it may
seem, including
any attachment
to the eight
meditative
attainments.
Included are
some good
similes on how
the situation
itself is not
what determines
whether
something is
binding or not,
but how one
views it.

To Vacchagotta on the
Threefold True Knowledge
-
Tevijjavacchagotta Sutta
In
this short conversation
between the Buddha and
Vacchagotta, the Buddha
denies possessing
complete knowledge of
everything at all times
and in all states. He
says the correct
description of him would
be that he possesses the
Threefold Knowledge:
recollection of his past
lives, ability to see
the lives of others, and
true deliverance of mind
by wisdom.

To Vāseṭṭha - Vāseṭṭha
Sutta
The Buddha resolves a
dispute between two
young brahmins about
whether a true brahmin
is distinguished by
birth or action. This
discourse contains a
long series of stanzas
showing how a true
brahmin is the same as
an arahant (one
liberated from bondage
of action and result)
and that one’s actions,
not one’s birth, are
what determine
liberation. |
