Treacherous Servant

1 discourse

SN 22.85 Yamaka sutta - With Yamaka

When Yamaka claims that an Arahant is annihilated at death, the venerable Sāriputta guides him through an inquiry into the five aggregates, showing that a Tathāgata cannot be pinned down even in this very life and illustrating with the simile of a treacherous servant how clinging leads to harm while liberation is arrived at through non-clinging.
