Mahāpuṇṇama Sutta

Taught at the Migāramātupāsāda on a full moon night. A monk asks the Buddha a series of questions regarding the five aggreagtes of attachment (upādānakkhandhā), their origin, their definition, and also as to how personality-view (sakkāyaditthi) arises.

The Buddha answers him, and shows how deliverance can be attained by realisation that there is no self in any of hte aggregates.

It is said that sixty monks who heard the sutta became Arahants. M.iii.15-20.
