MN23. The Ant Hill - Vammika Sutta

This episode is the 23nd sutta of the Majjhima Nikaya: the Vammika Sutta which is known in English the “ant hill”. In a curious teaching full of evocative imagery, a deity lights up the Dark Forest to present Venerable Kassapa the Prince with a complex riddle. He goes on to seek an explanation of the riddle from the Buddha. This translation of the Vammika Sutta is by Bhikkhu Sujato and was sourced from Sutta Central.
