Ajahn Dhammasiha explores Anguttara Nikāya, Book of Tens, Sutta #93

(Numerical Discorses of the Buddha p. 1464)

One of the Great Lay Disciples of the Buddha, Anathapiṇḍika, famous as the donor of the Jetavana monastery, has a discussion with ascetics from a different religion on the subject of 'views'/'doctrine'.

The 'Wanderers' explain the various doctrines they are convinced of, like:

"The universe is eternal"

"The universe is not eternal"

"The universe is finite"

"The universe is infinite"

and so on...

Additionally, they always assert: "Only this is true, anything else is nonsense"…
