KusinÄrÄ Sutta
1. KusinÄrÄ Sutta.- Taught at Baliharana in KusinÄrÄ. Offerings, made to a monk by the pious, bring him no real advantage if, he is slothful; he should be strenuous and vigilant. A.i.274f.
2. KusinÄrÄ Sutta.- Also taught at Baliharana. A monk wishing to rebuke another monk, should consider five things with regard to himself — whether he is of blameless conduct in body and speech; whether he really wishes well for his colleague and is not influenced by envy; whether he is learned in the doctrine; whether his own observance of the monastic discipline (PÄá¹imokkha) is perfect. He should also consider whether his rebuke is seasonable, justified by facts, administered gently, for the other’s benefit and out of compassion for him (A.v.79f).
3. KusinÄrÄ Sutta.- Taught at Upavattana in KusinÄrÄ, in the SÄlagrove of the Mallas. The Buddha, just before his death, invites the monks to question him with regard to any doubts or misgivings they may have. They remain silent (A.ii.79f). The sutta occurs also as part of the MahÄ-ParinibbÄna Sutta. D.ii.137, 154.
