The Sixfold Purity of an Arahant According to the Chabbisodhana-sutta and its Parallel
In continuation of two articles published in the last two issues of the JBE,
in which I studied aspects of early Buddhist ethics based on comparing
parallel versions of a discourse preserved in Pāli and Chinese, the
present article examines the treatment of the six-fold purity of an arahant
in the Chabbisodhana-sutta of the Majjhima-nikāya and in its Madhyama-
āgama parallel, based on an annotated translation of the latter.
