সিঙ্গালসুত্ত

বৌদ্ধ ধর্মীয় ধর্মগ্রন্থ

সিঙ্গালসুত্ত হলো দীর্ঘ নিকায় বর্ণিত ৩১তম সুত্ত[১] এটি সিঙ্গল সুত্ত,[২] সিঙ্গালোবাদ সুত্ত,[৩] সিঙ্গালবাদ সূত্ত,[৪] এবং সিঙ্গাল সূত্তন্ত নামেও পরিচিত।[৫]

বুদ্ধঘোষ সুত্তটিকে "গৃহস্থের বিনয়" হিসেবে উল্লেখ করেছেন।[৬] আধুনিক সময়ে, ভিক্ষু বোধি সুত্তটিকে "সবচেয়ে ব্যাপক নিকায় পাঠ্য" হিসেবে চিহ্নিত করেছেন যা "বর্তমান জীবনে সরাসরি দৃশ্যমান সুখের সাথে সম্পর্কিত।"[৭]

  6. This epithet, "the Vinaya of the Householder" (gihi-vinaya) is attributed to Buddhaghosa in Narada (1995). This epithet is also mentioned in Bodhi (2005), p. 109, Hinüber (2000), p. 31, and Law (1932-33), p. 85, n. 1, without being attributed.
  7. Bodhi (2005), p. 109. Bodhi (2005), pp. 108-09, maintains that the Pali commentaries identify three benefits to the Buddha's teaching: (1) present-life happiness; (2) next-life happiness; and, (3) Nibbana. He goes on to write that Western Buddhist scholars have emphasized the third benefit while all three are needed to fairly represent the Buddha's teachings.
