In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper NamesThe name given to the discourse preached by the Buddha at Gayasisa in Gaya, after his conversion of the Tebhatikajatila (Uruvela Kassapa, Nadi Kassapa and Gaya Kassapa).
Everything is burning: the eye, the eye consciousness (cakkhuvinnana), and the contact of the eye with objects (cakkhu samphassa), and the sensations that arise there form. It is the same with the other senses: they are aflame with lust, anger, ignorance and the anxieties of birth, decay, death, etc.; knowing this, the follower of the Noble Eightfold Path feels revulsion towards them and divests himself of passion for them and ultimately attains supreme freedom.
At the end of the discourse the thousand monks, erstwhile jatilas, who had been listening, became arahants (Vin.i.34-5; J.i.82; iv.180).
It is said that the Adittapariyaya was preached on the Pitthipasana at Gayasisa (AA.i.166; ThagA.i.435). This is the third recorded address of the Buddha.
It is also called the Aditta Sutta. (See Aditta Sutta 3).
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).
