Appaka
Sutta: Few
At
Savatthi. As he was sitting to one side, King Pasenadi Kosala said to the
Blessed One: “Just now, lord, while I was alone in seclusion, this train
of thought arose in my awareness: ‘Few are those people in the world who, when
acquiring lavish wealth, don’t become intoxicated & heedless, don’t become
greedy for sensual pleasures, and don’t mistreat other beings. Many more are
those who, when acquiring lavish wealth, become intoxicated & heedless,
become greedy for sensual pleasures, and mistreat other beings.’”
“That’s
the way it is, great king! That’s the way it is! Few are those people in the
world who, when acquiring lavish wealth, don’t become intoxicated &
heedless, don’t become greedy for sensual pleasures, and don’t mistreat other
beings. Many more are those who, when acquiring lavish wealth, become intoxicated
& heedless, become greedy for sensual pleasures, and mistreat other
beings.”
That
is what the Blessed One said. Having said that, the One Well-Gone, the Teacher,
said further:
Impassioned
with sensual possessions,
greedy,
dazed by sensual pleasures,
they
don’t awaken to the fact
that
they’ve gone too far β
like
deer into a trap laid out.
Afterwards
it’s bitter for them:
evil
for them
the
result.

All 84,000 Khandas As Found in the
Pali Suttas
Traditionally |
The
discourses of Buddha are divided into 84,000, as to separate addresses. The
division includes all that was spoken by Buddha.βI received from Buddha,β said
Ananda, β82,000 Khandas, and from the
priests 2000; these are 84,000 Khandas maintained by me.β They are divided into
275,250, as to the stanzas of the original text, and into 361,550, as to the
stanzas of the commentary. All the discourses including both those of Buddha
and those of the commentator, are divided
into 2,547 banawaras, containing 737,000 stanzas, and 29,368,000
separate letters.

The teachings of Buddha are eternal, but even then
Buddha did not proclaim them to be infallible. The religion of Buddha has the
capacity to change according to times, a quality which no other religion can
claim to haveβ¦Now what is the basis of Buddhism? If you study carefully, you
will see that Buddhism is based on reason. There is an element of flexibility
inherent in it, which is not found in any other religion.
