A Cosmologist
At Sāvatthī.
Then a brahmin cosmologist went up to the Buddha …1
Seated to one side he said to the Buddha:
“Worthy Gotama, does all exist?”
“‘All exists’: this is the oldest cosmology, brahmin.”2
“Then does all not exist?”
“‘All does not exist’: this is the second cosmology.”
“Well, is all oneness?”
“‘All is oneness’: this is the third cosmology.”3
“Then is all expansiveness?”4
“‘All is expansiveness’: this is the fourth cosmology.
Avoiding these two extremes, the Realized One teaches by the middle way:
‘Ignorance is a requirement for choices.
Choices are a requirement for consciousness. …
That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
When ignorance fades away and ceases no residue left behind, choices cease.
When choices cease, consciousness ceases. …
That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.’”
When he said this, the brahmin cosmologist said to the Buddha,
“Excellent, worthy Gotama! Excellent! …
From this day forth, may the worthy Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.”
