The death of Nigantha Nataputta had taken place only recently and his followers were left in dissession and strife, wrangling over doctrines. The Venerable Sariputta who delivered this discourse attributed this schism among Nataputta's followers to the fact that Nataputta's Teaching had not been well taught nor well imparted, and was not conducive to release from the round of existences, being taught by one who was not supremely enlightened. But the Buddha's Teaching was well taught, well imparted, conducive to release from the round of existences, being taught by the Buddha who was supremely enlightened. He advised the bhikkhus to recite the Dhamma as taught by the Buddha, in concord and without dissension so that the Teaching should last long. Then he proceeded to enumerate the Dhamma classified under separate heads as Group of the Ones, Group of the Twos, etc., up to the Group of the Tens to facilitate easy memorising and reciting.
