**Kosambiya (Kosambaka) Sutta.**—Preached at the **Ghositārāma** in **Kosambī** to the quarrelsome monks of that place. The sutta deals with amity and the six means of promoting it—acts, words and thoughts of goodwill, sharing all things with one's fellow celibates, living the higher life in its entirety, following the doctrine that leads to the destruction of Ill, and introspection, which leads to the realisation of truth.¹ The **Kosambaka** Sutta is given² as an example of a discourse originating from a quarrel.
