Sīha Sutta

1. Sīha Sutta.– When the lion comes from his lair in the evening and utters his lion’s roar all the birds and beasts that hear it quake and tremble. Similarly when a Buddha appears in the world, all those holding wrong beliefs realise their error. The Buddha’s teaching has, as its aim, the ending of personality (sakkāya). S.iii.84 f.

2. Sīha Sutta.– Very similar to (1). A.ii.33 f.

3. Sīha Sutta.– When a lion hunts he hunts carefully, be it but for a hare or cat, lest his skill should fail him. Similarly, when a Buddha teaches, be it but to a fowler going about with grain, he teaches with care, out of respect for the Dhamma. A.iii.121.

4. Sīha Sutta.– Describes the conversion of Sīha, the general (q.v.) A.iv.180 f.
