“आदित्ते, भिक्खवे, चेले वा सीसे वा किमस्स करणीयन्”ति?
“Āditte, bhikkhave, cele vā sīse vā kimassa karaṇīyan”ti?
“Bhikkhus, if your clothes or head were on fire, what would you do about it?”
“आदित्ते, भन्ते, चेले वा सीसे वा, तस्सेव चेलस्स वा सीसस्स वा निब्बापनाय अधिमत्तो छन्दो च वायामो च उस्साहो च उस्सोळ्ही च अप्पटिवानी च सति च सम्पजञ्ञञ्च करणीयन्”ति।
“Āditte, bhante, cele vā sīse vā, tasseva celassa vā sīsassa vā nibbāpanāya adhimatto chando ca vāyāmo ca ussāho ca ussoḷhī ca appaṭivānī ca sati ca sampajaññañca karaṇīyan”ti.
“Sir, if our clothes or head were on fire, we’d apply intense enthusiasm, effort, zeal, vigor, perseverance, mindfulness, and situational awareness in order to extinguish it.”
“आदित्तं, भिक्खवे, चेलं वा सीसं वा अज्झुपेक्खित्वा अमनसिकरित्वा अनभिसमेतानं चतुन्नं अरियसच्चानं यथाभूतं अभिसमयाय अधिमत्तो छन्दो च वायामो च उस्साहो च उस्सोळ्ही च अप्पटिवानी च सति च सम्पजञ्ञञ्च करणीयं। कतमेसं चतुन्नं? दुक्खस्स अरियसच्चस्स …पे… दुक्खनिरोधगामिनिया पटिपदाय अरियसच्चस्स।
“Ādittaṁ, bhikkhave, celaṁ vā sīsaṁ vā ajjhupekkhitvā amanasikaritvā anabhisametānaṁ catunnaṁ ariyasaccānaṁ yathābhūtaṁ abhisamayāya adhimatto chando ca vāyāmo ca ussāho ca ussoḷhī ca appaṭivānī ca sati ca sampajaññañca karaṇīyaṁ. Katamesaṁ catunnaṁ? Dukkhassa ariyasaccassa …pe… dukkhanirodhagāminiyā paṭipadāya ariyasaccassa.
“Bhikkhus, so long as you have not comprehended the four noble truths, regard your burning head or clothes with equanimity, ignore them, and apply intense enthusiasm, effort, zeal, vigor, perseverance, mindfulness, and situational awareness to truly comprehending the four noble truths. What four? The noble truths of suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.
तस्मातिह, भिक्खवे, ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति योगो करणीयो …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति योगो करणीयो”ति।
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.
That’s why you should practice meditation …”
