DN 4 Soṇadaṇḍa sutta - With Soṇadaṇḍa

When the wealthy and esteemed brahmin Soṇadaṇḍa goes to meet the Buddha, he is questioned on what qualities truly define a brahmin. Setting aside social pedigree, scriptural recitation, and physical appearance, Soṇadaṇḍa recognizes that only virtue and wisdom are essential, and the Buddha reveals how virtue and wisdom are purified through spiritual training.
