Koṭṭhitasutta untranslated

Koṭṭhitasutta 01. A conversation between Mahā Koṭṭhita and Sāriputta as to whether or not anything exists after the passionless ending, without remainder, of the six spheres of contact (phassāyatanānaṁ asesavirāganirodhā). The conversation is repeated between Mahā Koṭṭhita and Ānanda. AN.ii.161f.

Koṭṭhitasutta 02. Mahā Koṭṭhita asks Sāriputta a series of questions as to why the holy life (brahmacariyā) is lived by the Blessed One, to all of which Sāriputta answers “No.” He then goes on to explain that the purpose of the holy life is the realisation of the four Ariyan truths. AN.iv.382f.

Koṭṭhitasutta 03. Three Suttas. Mahā Koṭṭhita visits the Buddha and asks for a brief statement of the Dhamma. The Buddha answers that desire should be put away for that which is (1) impermanent, (2) suffering, (3) without a self. SN.iv.145f.

Koṭṭhitasutta 04. Mahā Koṭṭhita visits Sāriputta at Isipatana and asks him which is true: to say that the eye is the bond of objects or that objects are the bond of the eye? Sāriputta replies that neither is true: the bond consists in the desire and lust arising from their contact. If two men be yoked one to the other, the bond consists not in either of the men but in the yoke-tie which binds them. If this were not so, the religious life would be purposeless. SN.iv.162f.

Koṭṭhitasutta 05. A group of three Suttas containing conversations between Mahā Koṭṭhita and Sāriputta on what constitutes ignorance. SN.iii.175.
