Ambattha Sutta

Ambattha Sutta. A discourse of the Digha Nikaya of the Pali Canon.

Ambattha the Brahmin is sent by his teacher to find whether the Buddha possesses the thirty-two major marks of a great man, but on arrival he is rude to the Buddha on grounds of his caste. The Buddha responds that he is actually higher born than Ambattha by social convention, but that he himself considers those fulfilled in conduct and wisdom as higher.
