Sinopsis singkat

Buddha menjelaskan bahwa tidak semua hal patut dikembangkan hanya karena terasa menyenangkan, dan tidak semua hal harus ditinggalkan hanya karena terasa tidak menyenangkan. Tubuh, ucapan, pikiran, cara memperoleh sesuatu, persepsi, pandangan dan individualitas perlu dinilai dari akibatnya: apakah kualitas bermanfaat bertambah dan kualitas tidak bermanfaat berkurang, atau sebaliknya. Sāriputta kemudian menguraikan ajaran itu lebih rinci dengan contoh-contoh. Ukuran praktik menjadi sangat praktis—bukan selera pribadi, tetapi arah perubahan batin dan akibat yang ditimbulkan.
