The thirtieth sutta of the Dīgha Nikāya. It gives an account of the thirty two special marks of the superman (mahāpurisalakkhanāni) which signify that their possessor will be either a world emperor (Cakkavatti) or a Buddha. The sutta definitely states that these marks are entirely due to good deeds done in former births and can only be maintained in the present life by goodness. D.iii.142 79; the sutta is quoted inMil. p. 405. Updated: 15 September 2011 http://What-Buddha-Said.net/library/DPPN/l/lakkhana_s.htm |
