Sinopsis singkat

Ānanda kembali membicarakan kekacauan para pengikut Nigaṇṭha setelah kematian gurunya dan bertanya bagaimana Saṅgha akan bertahan setelah Buddha wafat. Buddha menekankan bahwa Dhamma telah diajarkan dengan lengkap dan para murid tidak bergantung pada pribadi guru sebagai pemilik ajaran. Percakapan kemudian mengulas sebab-sebab konflik, cara menanganinya, serta pentingnya tidak membiarkan perselisihan kecil berkembang menjadi perpecahan. Buddha juga membedakan kedekatan yang sehat dengan guru dari keterikatan pada guru, sehingga kelangsungan komunitas ditempatkan pada praktik Dhamma dan kedewasaan para murid.
