TOKOH & TEMPAT

Sinopsis singkat

Yang Mulia Sāriputta menjelaskan kepada para bhikkhu tentang hubungan berantai antara moralitas dan pencapaian spiritual tertinggi. Ia menggunakan perumpamaan dua pohon—satu yang kurang cabang dan daun, dan satu lagi yang lengkap—untuk menggambarkan bagaimana moralitas yang rusak menghambat perkembangan samādhi hingga pengetahuan kebebasan, sementara moralitas yang sempurna menopang seluruh rangkaian kualitas spiritual hingga mencapai kebebasan.
