Sinopsis singkat

Ketika Buddha tinggal dekat Nagaravinda, para perumah tangga brahmana datang menemui beliau. Buddha memberi mereka ukuran praktis untuk menilai petapa atau brahmana yang layak dihormati: bukan gelar atau kelompoknya, tetapi apakah keserakahan, kebencian dan kebodohan masih menguasai perilaku tubuh, ucapan dan pikirannya. Orang yang telah meninggalkan kualitas-kualitas itu, menyukai penyepian yang mendukung pelepasan, dan tidak mencari kepuasan melalui objek indra patut dijadikan teladan. Mendengar penjelasan tersebut, para perumah tangga menyatakan keyakinan dan berlindung kepada Buddha, Dhamma dan Saṅgha.

mn150:5.2 ‘What kind of ascetic or brahmin deserves honor, respect, reverence, and veneration?’

mn150:5.3 You should answer them:

mn150:5.4 ‘There are ascetics and brahmins who are free of greed, hate, and delusion for sights known by the eye, whose minds are settled internally, and who conduct themselves well by way of body, speech, and mind. They deserve honor, respect, reverence, and veneration.
