SN 35.126 At Nālandā – Nāḷandasutta

 

At one time the Buddha was staying near Nālandā in Pāvārika’s mango grove.

Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā nāḷandāyaṁ viharati pāvārikambavane.

Then the householder Upāli went up to the Buddha … and asked him,

Atha kho, upāli gahapati, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho, upāli gahapati, 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 SN 35.124.)

(Yathā purimasuttantaṁ, evaṁ vitthāretabbaṁ.)

 

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