MN28. The Longer Discourse on the Elephant's Footprint - Mahāhatthipadopama Sutta
Manage episode 386740863 series 3408133
This is the 28th Sutta of the Majjhima Nikaya, The Mahahatthipadopama Sutta, which translates as “the longer discourse on the Elephant’s Footprint”. The Buddha’s chief disciple, Venerable Sāriputta gives an elaborate demonstration of how, just as any footprint can fit inside an elephant’s, all the Buddha’s teaching can fit inside the four noble truths. This offers an overall template for organizing the Buddha’s teachings.
If you'd like to understand more about this sutta you could listen to a sutta study class led by Ajahn Brahmali about this sutta.
