Kuṇḍaliya

A wanderer (paribbājaka) who visits the Buddha at the Añjanavana in Sāketa. He asks the Buddha what profit comes from the Buddha’s way of living.

The conversation leads to a discussion of the factors of enlightenment (bojjhaṅga), the foundations of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna) and virtuous ways of behaviour. At the end of the discussion Kuṇḍaliya becomes the Buddha’s follower. S.v.73 ff.
