1. Ákankheyya Sutta.-The sixth sutta of the Majjhima Nikáya, preached at Jetavana.

A monk must conform to the síla, the pátimokha and the sikkhápadas, whatever be his yearnings, whether to be beloved of his fellows, to be given robes etc., to gain the four jhánas, to make an end of dukkha or to be possessed of such powers as dibbacakkhu, etc. (M.i.33-6)

This sutta is often mentioned (E.g., DA.i.50; MA.i.13) as an example of a discourse preached by the Buddha of his own accord (attano ajjhásayen'eva).


2. Ákankkheyya Sutta.-Preached to the monks at Jetavana on the ambitions that should stir a monk's heart. A.v.131-3.
