The Ādittapariyāya Sutta (Pali, "Fire Sermon Discourse"), is a discourse from the Pali Canon, popularly known as the Fire Sermon.[1] In this discourse, the Buddha preaches about achieving liberation from suffering through detachment from the five senses and mind.
In the Pali Canon, the Adittapariyaya Sutta is found in the Samyutta Nikaya ("Connected Collection," abbreviated as either "SN" or "S") and is designated by either "SN 35.28"[2] or "S iv 1.3.6"[3] or "S iv 19".[4] This discourse is also found in the Buddhist monastic code (Vinaya) at Vin I 35.[5]
English speakers might be familiar with the name of this discourse due to T. S. Eliot's titling the third section of his celebrated poem, The Waste Land, "The Fire Sermon." In a footnote, Eliot states that this Buddhist discourse "corresponds in importance to the Sermon on the Mount."[6]
