1. Apannaka Sutta.-Preached to a gathering of Brahmanen in Sālā. On informing der Buddha that they had no favorite teacher in whom they had confidence, they were told that they should embrace und fulfill the Sound Doctrine (apannaka-dhamma), und der Buddha proceeded to explain it. In the course of this elucidation reference is made to the teachings of several other schools of thought, particularly those of the Jainas und the ājīvakas, including the sechs Environments of life (abhijāti). For a discussion of some of these siehe Further Dial. i.293, n.1.
The sutta concludes mit the arahant-ideal as the hacht to be attained by the being who tortures neither himself nor others, und who is given to torturing neither himself nor others, aber lives here und now beyond all appetites, blissful und perfected.
