dn25:7.0 2. Mortification in Disgust of Sin
BAGIAN 7
dn25:7.1 Then the Buddha went up to the wanderer Nigrodha,
dn25:7.2 who said to him,
dn25:7.3 “Let the Blessed One come, sir! Welcome to the Blessed One, sir!
dn25:7.4 It’s been a long time since you took the opportunity to come here.
dn25:7.5 Please, sir, sit down, here, a seat is ready.”
dn25:7.6 The Buddha sat down on the seat spread out,
dn25:7.7 while Nigrodha took a low seat and sat to one side.
dn25:7.8 The Buddha said to him,
dn25:7.9 “Nigrodha, what were you sitting talking about just now? What conversation was left unfinished?”
dn25:7.10 Nigrodha said,
dn25:7.11 “Well, sir, I saw you walking mindfully and said:
dn25:7.12 ‘If the ascetic Gotama comes, I’ll ask him this question:
dn25:7.13 “Sir, what teaching do you use to guide your disciples, through which they claim solace in the fundamental goal of the spiritual life?”’
dn25:7.14 This is the conversation that was unfinished when the Buddha arrived.”
dn25:7.15 “It’s hard for you to understand this, Nigrodha, since you have a different view, creed, and belief, and another discipline and denomination.
dn25:7.16 Please ask me a question about the higher disgust of sin in your own denomination:
dn25:7.17 ‘How are the conditions for the fervent mortification in disgust of sin completed, and how are they incomplete?’”
dn25:7.18 When he said this, those wanderers made an uproar,
dn25:7.19 “Oh lord, how incredible, how amazing! The ascetic Gotama has such power and might! For he sets aside his own doctrine and invites discussion on the doctrine of others!”
