สรุปเนื้อหา

The text discusses the distinct nature of Paccekabuddhas, who can guide individuals toward enlightenment but do not teach the masses like Buddhas. Their teachings emphasize solitude and are succinct, lacking detailed instructions for spiritual practice. The term 'khaggavisāṇa', referring to the rhinoceros's horn, is utilized to symbolize their isolation. Notably, the first superior field of merit is identified as the Buddha, and historical references are made to groups of Paccekabuddhas, such as those dwelling at Isigili mount in Magadha. This examination offers insights into the unique attributes and contributions of Paccekabuddhas within the broader Buddhist context. For further details, visit dmc.tv.

ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า

91 While it is possible for a Paccekabuddha to teach an individual which finally leads to that person's enlightenment, he does not teach to a multitude of people in the same way as a Buddha does. Hence, a Paccekabuddha is not regarded as being a ‘teacher’ in general sense. Also, their discourses are brief and mainly concerned with the praise of solitude, rather than containing instructions on how to practise oneself in order to gain spiritual realisation. See, for example, Ap.I.7-14. 92 Although the Pāli word ‘khaggavisāṇa’ could mean either the ‘rhinoceros’s horn’ or the animal ‘rhinoceros’ itself, this work chooses the former definition for it better symbolises the Paccekabuddhas’ solitude. 93 The first superior field of merit is the Buddha (sammāsambuddha). M.III.254. 94 It is mentioned in the Isigili-sutta that five hundred Paccekabuddhas lived together at the Isigili mount in Magadha. M.III.68. 95 D.II.142-143. 96 M.III.69. 97 M.III.71.
