Brahmajala Sutta (20-03-2024)

Brahmajala Sutta (20-03-2024)

Brahmajala Sutta was selected by Ven. Panadure Chandaratana Thero of Mitirigala Nissarana Vanaya Forest Monastery as the next Sutta for Sutta Teachings in English on 20 March 2024.

Please use this link to read the text of the Sutta from accesstoinsight.org: Brahmajala Sutta.

The sutta discusses two main topics: the elaboration of the “Ten Precepts” (Cula-sila) and the “Middle Precepts” (Majjhima-sila). Cula-sila deals with the Ten Precepts to be practiced by devout Buddhists, while Majjhima-sila gives a detailed description of the practice of the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth precepts, together with a further delineation of virtuous practices and abstentions.

The second and third parts of the sutta discuss the 62 beliefs (ditthi) which are clung to by ascetics in India. These are divided into: 18 beliefs related to the past (pubbantanuditthino), and 44 beliefs about the future (aparantakappika).

Many of these beliefs are still relevant in the modern world and thus the sutta provides Buddhist scholars with much information to ponder about the Buddha’s teachings.
