SN 35.125 In the Land of the Vajjis – Vajjīsutta

 

At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Vajjis at the village of Hatthi.

Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vajjīsu viharati hatthigāme.

Then the householder Ugga of Hatthi went up to the Buddha, sat down to one side, and said to him:

Atha kho uggo gahapati hatthigāmako yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho uggo gahapati hatthigāmako bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

“What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings aren’t fully extinguished in the present life?

“ko nu kho, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti?

What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings are fully extinguished in the present life?” …

Ko pana, bhante, hetu ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti?

(This should be told in full as in the previous discourse.)

(Yathā purimasuttantaṁ, evaṁ vitthāretabbaṁ.)

 

“Ayaṁ kho, gahapati, hetu ayaṁ paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti.
