Lesson 2.1.0 Kutikasuttaṃ – Leaving Behind All Bondages
The Kuṭikāsutta opens this second chapter which has been titled: Itthiyā vā purisena vā gahaṭṭhena vā pabbajitena vā sāmaññena vā brahmaññena vā brahmacariyena vā – A Beneficial Path for One and All. The, mostly shorter, selected texts in this chapter emphasise that the Buddha taught the same Dhamma for everyone, whether “female or male, a householder or someone that has left the householder’s life, any ascetic, recluse, a Brahman or anyone who leads the life of purity”. The aim of this collection of suttas is to instigate faith and to inspire a person to walk the Ariyo Aṭṭhaṅgiko Maggo which is the same for all.
