Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“अनमतग्गोयं, भिक्खवे, संसारो। पुब्बा कोटि न पञ्ञायति अविज्जानीवरणानं सत्तानं तण्हासंयोजनानं सन्धावतं संसरतं। तं किं मञ्ञथ, भिक्खवे, कतमं नु खो बहुतरं, यं वा वो इमिना दीघेन अद्धुना सन्धावतं संसरतं अमनापसम्पयोगा मनापविप्पयोगा कन्दन्तानं रोदन्तानं अस्सु पस्सन्नं पग्घरितं, यं वा चतूसु महासमुद्देसु उदकन्”ति?
“Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro. Pubbā koṭi na paññāyati avijjānīvaraṇānaṁ sattānaṁ taṇhāsaṁyojanānaṁ sandhāvataṁ saṁsarataṁ. Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave, katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ, yaṁ vā vo iminā dīghena addhunā sandhāvataṁ saṁsarataṁ amanāpasampayogā manāpavippayogā kandantānaṁ rodantānaṁ1 assu passannaṁ2 paggharitaṁ, yaṁ vā catūsu mahāsamuddesu udakan”ti?
“Bhikkhus, transmigration has no known beginning. No first point is found of sentient beings roaming and transmigrating, shrouded by ignorance and fettered by craving. What do you think? Which is more: the flow of tears you’ve shed while roaming and transmigrating for such a very long time—weeping and wailing from being united with the unloved and separated from the loved—or the water in the four oceans?”
“यथा खो मयं, भन्ते, भगवता धम्मं देसितं आजानाम, एतदेव, भन्ते, बहुतरं यं नो इमिना दीघेन अद्धुना सन्धावतं संसरतं अमनापसम्पयोगा मनापविप्पयोगा कन्दन्तानं रोदन्तानं अस्सु पस्सन्नं पग्घरितं, न त्वेव चतूसु महासमुद्देसु उदकन्”ति।
“Yathā kho mayaṁ, bhante, bhagavatā dhammaṁ desitaṁ ājānāma, etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṁ yaṁ no iminā dīghena addhunā sandhāvataṁ saṁsarataṁ amanāpasampayogā manāpavippayogā kandantānaṁ rodantānaṁ assu passannaṁ paggharitaṁ, na tveva catūsu mahāsamuddesu udakan”ti.
“As we understand the Buddha’s teaching, the flow of tears we’ve shed while roaming and transmigrating is more than the water in the four oceans.”
“साधु साधु, भिक्खवे, साधु खो मे तुम्हे, भिक्खवे, एवं धम्मं देसितं आजानाथ। एतदेव, भिक्खवे, बहुतरं यं वो इमिना दीघेन अद्धुना सन्धावतं संसरतं अमनापसम्पयोगा मनापविप्पयोगा कन्दन्तानं रोदन्तानं अस्सु पस्सन्नं पग्घरितं, न त्वेव चतूसु महासमुद्देसु उदकं। दीघरत्तं वो, भिक्खवे, मातुमरणं पच्चनुभूतं; तेसं वो मातुमरणं पच्चनुभोन्तानं अमनापसम्पयोगा मनापविप्पयोगा कन्दन्तानं रोदन्तानं अस्सु पस्सन्नं पग्घरितं, न त्वेव चतूसु महासमुद्देसु उदकं। दीघरत्तं वो, भिक्खवे, पितुमरणं पच्चनुभूतं …पे… भातुमरणं पच्चनुभूतं … भगिनिमरणं पच्चनुभूतं … पुत्तमरणं पच्चनुभूतं … धीतुमरणं पच्चनुभूतं … ञातिब्यसनं पच्चनुभूतं … भोगब्यसनं पच्चनुभूतं। दीघरत्तं वो, भिक्खवे, रोगब्यसनं पच्चनुभूतं, तेसं वो रोगब्यसनं पच्चनुभोन्तानं अमनापसम्पयोगा मनापविप्पयोगा कन्दन्तानं रोदन्तानं अस्सु पस्सन्नं पग्घरितं, न त्वेव चतूसु महासमुद्देसु उदकं।
“Sādhu sādhu, bhikkhave, sādhu kho me tumhe, bhikkhave, evaṁ dhammaṁ desitaṁ ājānātha. Etadeva, bhikkhave, bahutaraṁ yaṁ vo iminā dīghena addhunā sandhāvataṁ saṁsarataṁ amanāpasampayogā manāpavippayogā kandantānaṁ rodantānaṁ assu passannaṁ paggharitaṁ, na tveva catūsu mahāsamuddesu udakaṁ. Dīgharattaṁ vo, bhikkhave, mātumaraṇaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ; tesaṁ vo mātumaraṇaṁ paccanubhontānaṁ amanāpasampayogā manāpavippayogā kandantānaṁ rodantānaṁ assu passannaṁ paggharitaṁ, na tveva catūsu mahāsamuddesu udakaṁ. Dīgharattaṁ vo, bhikkhave, pitumaraṇaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ …pe… bhātumaraṇaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ … bhaginimaraṇaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ … puttamaraṇaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ … dhītumaraṇaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ … ñātibyasanaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ … bhogabyasanaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ. Dīgharattaṁ vo, bhikkhave, rogabyasanaṁ paccanubhūtaṁ, tesaṁ vo rogabyasanaṁ paccanubhontānaṁ amanāpasampayogā manāpavippayogā kandantānaṁ rodantānaṁ assu passannaṁ paggharitaṁ, na tveva catūsu mahāsamuddesu udakaṁ.
“Good, good, bhikkhus! It’s good that you understand my teaching like this. The flow of tears you’ve shed while roaming and transmigrating is indeed more than the water in the four oceans. For a long time you’ve undergone the death of a mother … father … brother … sister … son … daughter … loss of relatives … loss of wealth … or loss through illness. From being united with the unloved and separated from the loved, the flow of tears you’ve shed while roaming and transmigrating is indeed more than the water in the four oceans.
तं किस्स हेतु? अनमतग्गोयं, भिक्खवे, संसारो …पे… यावञ्चिदं, भिक्खवे, अलमेव सब्बसङ्खारेसु निब्बिन्दितुं, अलं विरज्जितुं, अलं विमुच्चितुन्”ति।
Taṁ kissa hetu? Anamataggoyaṁ, bhikkhave, saṁsāro …pe… yāvañcidaṁ, bhikkhave, alameva sabbasaṅkhāresu nibbindituṁ, alaṁ virajjituṁ, alaṁ vimuccitun”ti.
Why is that? Transmigration has no known beginning. … This is quite enough for you to become disillusioned, dispassionate, and freed regarding all conditions.”
ततियं।
Tatiyaṁ.
