HÄ«nÄdhimuttikasutta Inferior Convictions
SÄvatthiyaį¹ viharati. At SÄvatthÄ«.
āDhÄtusova, bhikkhave, sattÄ saį¹sandanti samenti. āMendicants, sentient beings join together and converge because of an element. Here āelementā means something like a āpersonality traitā.
HÄ«nÄdhimuttikÄ hÄ«nÄdhimuttikehi saddhiį¹ saį¹sandanti samenti; Those who have inferior convictions join together and converge with those who have inferior convictions. Adhimuttika appears to be a Buddhist coinage. The key text is the Divine Net Discourse DN 1, where the Buddhaās ability to discern the different āconvictionsā of beings is illustrated with the examples of Suppiya who criticized the Buddha, Dhamma, and Saį¹
gha, while his student Brahmadatta praised them. This speaks to a difference in faith, a quality closely associated with adhimutta (eg. AN 1.208:1.1). DN 1 goes on to discuss the various views, using the unique term adhimuttipadÄni (āhypothesesā, āstatements of convictionā), which clearly draws on adhimutti in the introduction.
