MN:22 Alagaddūpama Sutta – The Simile of the Snake | Ajahn Hasapanna | 26 October 2025
Ajahn Hasapanna discusses sutta 22 from the Majjhima Nikaya: Alagaddūpama Sutta – “The Simile of the Snake” and is using Bhikkhu Bodhi’s translation.
Read MN22 on Sutta Central here:“One of the monks denies that prohibited conduct is really a problem. The monks and then the Buddha subject him to an impressive dressing down. The Buddha compares someone who understands only the letter of the teachings to someone who grabs a snake by the tail, and also invokes the famous simile of the raft.”, Sutta Central.
