Mahā Māluṅkyāsutta untranslated

Mahā Māluṅkyāsutta. On the five bonds that chain uninstructed men to the lower life: delusion as to personality, doubt, attachment to rites, lusts of the flesh, and malevolence. The path to the destruction of these bonds is the cultivation of the jhānas (MN.i.432-7).

The Sutta is so-called because it was preached in contradiction of a wrong answer given by Māluṅkyāputta to a question of the Buddha. The Buddha pointed out his error, and Ānanda requested the Buddha to give the correct answer. This is one of the Suttas which teach samatha-vipassanā. MN­a.ii.572.
