The ''Ādittapariyāya Sutta'' (Pali, "Fire Sermon Discourse"), sometimes referred to simply as the ''Āditta Sutta'', is a discourse from the Pali Canon, popularly known as the Fire Sermon.〔For instance, while the Sinhala SLTP edition refers to this discourse as the (' ), the Burmese CSCD edition refers to it as ('. ) (Ñanamoli (1981), ) (Thanissaro (1993) ) and other English translators consistently refer to this (or mention its being referred to)as "The Fire Sermon."〕 In this discourse, the Buddha preaches about achieving liberation from suffering through detachment from the five senses and mind. In the Pali Canon, the ''Adittapariyaya Sutta'' is found in the Samyutta Nikaya ("Connected Collection," abbreviated as either "SN" or "S") and is designated by either "SN 35.28"〔"SN 35.28" denotes that this discourse is the twenty-eighth discourse in the 35th group (') in the Samyutta Nikaya. (Note that in the Sri Lankan edition of the Canon, the ' is the 34th group.) As an example, (Thanissaro (1993) ) uses this designation.〕 or "S iv 1.3.6"〔"S iv 1.3.6" denotes that this is the sixth discourse in third group of ten discourses (''Sabbavaggo'') in the fourth book (''Catutthobhāgo'') in the Samyutta Nikaya. As an example, (Bodhgaya News (n.d.) ) uses this designation.〕 or "S iv 19".〔"S iv 19" denotes that, in the Pali Text Society edition of the Canon, this discourse starts on page 19 of the fourth volume of the Samyutta Nikaya.〕 This discourse is also found in the Buddhist monastic code (''Vinaya'') at Vin I 35.〔Bodhgaya News (n.d.), Vinaya Pitaka, ''Mahavagga'', (BJT p. 72 ); (Rhys Davids & Oldenberg (1881), the Mahavagga, First Khandhaka ), ch. 21; Bodhi (2005), p. 449, ''n''. 38; and, Gombrich (1990), p. 16.〕 English speakers might be familiar with the name of this discourse due to T. S. Eliot's titling the third section of his celebrated poem, ''The Waste Land'', "The Fire Sermon." In a footnote, Eliot states that this Buddhist discourse "corresponds in importance to the Sermon on the Mount."〔Allison ''et al.''. (1975), p. 1042 ''n''. 9. Eliot concludes "The Fire Sermon" section with: "Burning burning burning burning / O Lord Thou pluckest me out / O Lord Thou pluckest // burning" and associates the identified footnote with the first line represented here ("Burning burning....").〕 ==Background== In the Vinaya, the Fire Sermon is the third discourse delivered by the Buddha (after the Dhammacakkapavattana Sutta and the Anattalakkhana Sutta), several months after his enlightenment, on top of the Gayasisa Hill, near Gaya, India. He delivered it to a thousand newly converted ascetics who formerly practiced a sacred fire ritual (Pali: ''aggihutta''; Skt.: ''agnihotra'').〔(Rhys Davids & Oldenberg (1881), the Mahavagga, First Khandhaka ), chs. 15 - 21; Gombrich (1990), p. 16; (Ñanamoli (1981), ) "Introduction"; and, Bodhgaya News (n.d.), Vinaya Pitaka, ''Mahavagga'', (BJT pp. 70''ff''. )〕 The 5th-century CE post-canonical Pali commentary, ''Sāratthappakāsini'' (Spk.), attributed to Buddhaghosa, draws a direct connection between the ascetics' prior practices and this discourse's main rhetorical device: Having led the thousand bhikkhus monks to Gayā's Head, the Blessed One reflected, 'What kind of Dhamma talk would be suitable for them?' He then realized, 'In the past they worshipped the fire morning and evening. I will teach them that the twelve sense bases are burning and blazing. In this way they will be able to attain arahantship.〔Bodhi (2000), p. 1401, ''n''. 13.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fire Sermon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
