1At Sāvatthī. "Bhikkhus, when what exists, sn.iii.216 by clinging to what, by adhering to what, does such a view as this arise: ‘The Tathāgata both exists and does not exist after death’?"
"Venerable sir, our teachings are rooted in the Blessed One … ."
"When, bhikkhus, a noble disciple … with enlightenment as his destination."
1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. "Kismiṁ nu kho, bhikkhave, sati, kiṁ upādāya, kiṁ abhinivissa evaṁ diṭṭhi uppajjati: ‘hoti ca na ca hoti tathāgato paraṁ maraṇā’"ti? "Bhagavaṁmūlakā no, bhante, dhammā … pe … niyato sambodhiparāyano"ti.
Sattarasamaṁ.
