The Six Heretical Teachers or Six Heretics were six sectarian contemporaries of the Buddha (including Mahavira, the founder of Jainism) each of whom held a view in opposition to his teachings.[1][2] The six heretics are described in detail in the Samaññaphala Sutta of the Digha Nikaya in the Pali Tipitaka.[3]
