Thus regard I heard. Whilst the Buddha was wandering among Rajagaha and Nalanda with a widespread business of monastics. The drifter Suppiya was as well wandering close at hand sustaining on the vastly hunt down arguing with his learner the youth Brahmadatta.
Suppiya was wisdom effort in all sorts of ways with the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha [monastic Straight], little his learner Brahmadatta was homily in countless ways in f?te of them.
* The letter explains that Suppiya was a ferment of Sanjaya Belatthaputta (DN 2.31 ff.), the in the beginning lecturer of Sariputra and Mahamoggallana. It is was this defection, in increase to the loss of his gains, that exasperated Suppiya.
They all closed for the night at the ceremonial dining room of Ambalatthika. Suppiya went on abusing the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, for example his learner Brahmadatta protected them.
Children in the start a issue forth of monastics got up and gathered together in the Set Pergola saying: "It is countless, friends, it is marvellous how the Fortuitous Lady, the "Arahant" [severe enlightened one], the supremely-enlightened Scholastic knows, sees, and sound distinguishes the new inclinations of beings! For all-around is the drifter Suppiya wisdom effort in all sorts of ways with the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, for example his learner in countless ways defends them. And good-natured disputing they manner carefully sustaining the Buddha and his disciples."
Thus the Buddha, central part sleepless of what they were discussing, came to the Set Pergola. Serving down on the seat principally ready for him, he asked: "Monastics, what was the control of your chat amend now which I interrupted?" And they told him.
"Monastics, if everybody poverty speak in condemnation of me, the Dharma, or the Sangha, you poverty not be snappish, bitter, or unsettle on that illustration. If you were to become snappish or restless at such condemnation, that would just be a bolt to you. For if others sneer at me, the Dharma, or the Sangha, and you are snappish or restless, can you whitehead whether what they say is virtuous or not?"
"No, venerable sir."
"If others sneer at me, the Dharma, or the Sangha, for that reason you penury convert what is incorrrect as central part made-up, saying: 'That is made-up, that is perilous, that is not our way, that is not found connecting us.'
"If others f?te me, the Dharma, or the Sangha, you poverty not on that illustration be pleased, jolly, or overjoyed. If you were to become pleased, jolly, or overjoyed at such f?te, that would just be a bolt to you. If others f?te me, the Dharma, or the Sangha, you poverty regard the truth of what is true, saying: 'That is factual, that is virtuous, that is our way, that is found connecting us.'
"It is for originator, young person matters of good practice [which are young person related to the fighting of purifying levels of focus ("jhanas, "meditative-absorptions), which are young person to the fighting of invigorating insights (wisdom)] that the worldling would f?te the Tathagata. [The Buddha is referring to himself with this quintessence, which device the Asylum seeker, who is "well gone" from suffering as well as "passable" as a lecturer].
"And what are these originator, young person matters for which the worldling would f?te him?"
The Buddha goes on to list the fulsome qualities or good practices that brought him to buddhahood: abandoning: the prize of life, battering, lack of compassion; the prize of what is not given; unchastity, perilous pronunciation, serious [or divisive] pronunciation, pitiless pronunciation, ruined prattle, and so on in intense noteworthy down to the bother of plants, unbecoming forms of existing for a spiritual lecturer, and debating or disparagement others.
"Monastics, it is for such originator, young person matters of good practice that the worldling would f?te the Tathagata.
The "Net" of unbecoming views has become the Internet, even Insight Quarterly
"Organize are other matters, unlimited, solid to see, solid to understand, peaceful, imposing, exceeding mere issue, stealthy, to be discernment by the wise, which the Tathagata, having realized them by his own super-knowledge, proclaims, and about which community who would terribly f?te the Tathagata would honorably speak. And what are these matters?"
This confer is called the "Brahmajala" (the "Omnipresent Net" or the "Private Net of Views") sutra to the same extent it goes on to list and refute 62 kinds of unbecoming views.
At the end of the sutra, Ananda exclaims: "It is marvellous, venerable sir, it is countless. Being is the name of this revelation of Dharma?"
The Buddha replies, "Ananda, you may remember this revelation of Dharma as the Net of Decent [that which is unbeaten], the Net of Dharma, the Omnipresent Net, the Net of Views, or as the Unmatched Success in Argue."
