[Magadhi] [MN36, Mahāsaccakasutta] The Buddha's Ultimate Workout

This scripture illuminates the true meaning of mental and physical practice through a dialogue between the Buddha and Saccaka. The Buddha reveals that the extreme asceticism and fasting he practiced in the past were useless for enlightenment; instead, he emphasizes the importance of meditation (Jhana) based on the wisdom of the Middle Way. The text explains that true practice involves training both the body and mind so they are not swayed by pain or pleasure. Ultimately, the Buddha proves that he reached complete liberation through the 'Three True Knowledges' gained after extinguishing all mental defilements. The dialogue ends with Saccaka expressing deep respect for the Buddha’s sublime equanimity, which remained unshaken by any provocation.
