Friends of suttacentral! the doctrine of Sañjaya Belaṭṭhiputta can be found in Dn2 which has 82 parallels.
According to one of my dearest teachers Sañjaya Belaṭṭhiputta was basically explaining in a very elaborate way that he knew nothing! Haha!
Please take a moment to arrive.
Here are four Suttas containing reference to lay Ariyas:
An6.44 with 3 parallels, An8.21 With 1 parallel, Mn73 with 3 parallels and Mn81 with 7 parallels.
To find these Suttas simply leave discuss and discover and navigate the site using the hamburger menu in the top left of the screen (An is numbered and MN is middle length).
