สรุปเนื้อหา

In this text, a prince named Payasi is confronted by Master Kassapa regarding his beliefs that deny the existence of an afterlife and the consequences of one's actions. Despite Kassapa's urging, Payasi refuses to renounce these views, fearing societal judgement and loss of respect. He chooses to cling to his beliefs out of pride and the fear of being seen as unintelligent. The text highlights the internal conflict between understanding deeper truths and the pressure of societal opinion. It reflects the struggle of balancing personal convictions with the fear of public perception, as exemplified in the character of Prince Payasi. This tension between knowledge and social acceptance is a key theme in this dialogue. For more insights on philosophical beliefs, visit dmc.tv.

ข้อความต้นฉบับในหน้า

"Even so, Prince, have you, silly and unintelligent, sought after another world. Renounce, Prince, this evil set of opinions. Let them not involve you for long in bale and sorrow !' 22. 'Even though Master Kassapa says this, I still cannot bring myself to renounce this evil set of opinions. King Pasenadi the Kosalan knows me, and so do foreign kings, as holding to the creed and the opinion that there is neither another world nor rebirth other than of parents, nor fruit or result of deeds well and ill - done. If I, Master Kassapa, renounce these opinions, people will say of me : -" How silly is Prince Payasi, how unintelligent, how badly he grasps anything !' In wrath thereat will I keep to it. In guile will I keep to it. In self - respect will I keep to it !"
