| AN.IV.39 | Ujjaya Sutta | Asked whether the Buddha praised the practice of sacrifices, the Buddha replies that he does not praise the following four types of sacrifice: 1. sacrifice of oxen; 2. sacrifice of goats and sheep; 3. sacrifice of pigs, and; 4. sacrifice of other animals. The Buddha says that he does, however, praise forms of sacrifice that are free from butchery -- e.g. sacrifices that display charity or sacrifices for the benefit of the clan. | 35/149 | Catukanipaata Pa.thama Pa.n.naasaka | A"nguttara | A.ii. |
