The Bone-Washing Ceremony
“अत्थि, भिक्खवे, दक्खिणेसु जनपदेसु धोवनं नाम। तत्थ होति अन्नम्पि पानम्पि खज्जम्पि भोज्जम्पि लेय्यम्पि पेय्यम्पि नच्चम्पि गीतम्पि वादितम्पि। अत्थेतं, भिक्खवे, धोवनं; ‘नेतं नत्थीऽति वदामि। तञ्च खो एतं, भिक्खवे, धोवनं हीनं गम्मं पोथुज्जनिकं अनरियं अनत्थसंहितं न निब्बिदाय न विरागाय न निरोधाय न उपसमाय न अभिञ्ञाय न सम्बोधाय न निब्बानाय संवत्तति।
“Atthi, bhikkhave, dakkhiṇesu janapadesu dhovanaṁ nāma. Tattha hoti annampi pānampi khajjampi bhojjampi leyyampi peyyampi naccampi gītampi vāditampi. Atthetaṁ, bhikkhave, dhovanaṁ; ‘netaṁ natthī’ti vadāmi. Tañca kho etaṁ, bhikkhave, dhovanaṁ hīnaṁ gammaṁ pothujjanikaṁ anariyaṁ anatthasaṁhitaṁ na nibbidāya na virāgāya na nirodhāya na upasamāya na abhiññāya na sambodhāya na nibbānāya saṁvattati.
“Bhikkhus, in the southern lands there is a ceremony named ‘bone-washing’. There they have food, drink, snacks, meals, refreshments, and beverages, as well as dancing, singing, and music. There is such a washing, I don’t deny it. But that washing is low, crude, ordinary, ignoble, and pointless. It doesn’t lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and Nibbana.
अहञ्च खो, भिक्खवे, अरियं धोवनं देसेस्सामि, यं धोवनं एकन्तनिब्बिदाय विरागाय निरोधाय उपसमाय अभिञ्ञाय सम्बोधाय निब्बानाय संवत्तति, यं धोवनं आगम्म जातिधम्मा सत्ता जातिया परिमुच्चन्ति, जराधम्मा सत्ता जराय परिमुच्चन्ति, मरणधम्मा सत्ता मरणेन परिमुच्चन्ति, सोकपरिदेवदुक्खदोमनस्सुपायासधम्मा सत्ता सोकपरिदेवदुक्खदोमनस्सुपायासेहि परिमुच्चन्ति। तं सुणाथ, साधुकं मनसि करोथ, भासिस्सामी”ति।
Ahañca kho, bhikkhave, ariyaṁ dhovanaṁ desessāmi, yaṁ dhovanaṁ ekantanibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṁvattati, yaṁ dhovanaṁ āgamma jātidhammā sattā jātiyā parimuccanti, jarādhammā sattā jarāya parimuccanti, maraṇadhammā sattā maraṇena parimuccanti, sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsadhammā sattā sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsehi parimuccanti. Taṁ suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.
I will teach a noble washing that leads solely to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and Nibbana. Relying on that washing, sentient beings who are liable to rebirth, old age, and death, to sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress are freed from all these things. Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.”
“एवं, भन्ते”ति खो ते भिक्खू भगवतो पच्चस्सोसुं। भगवा एतदवोच:
“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ. Bhagavā etadavoca:
“Yes, sir,” they replied. The Buddha said this:
“कतमञ्च तं, भिक्खवे, अरियं धोवनं, यं धोवनं एकन्तनिब्बिदाय विरागाय निरोधाय उपसमाय अभिञ्ञाय सम्बोधाय निब्बानाय संवत्तति, यं धोवनं आगम्म जातिधम्मा सत्ता जातिया परिमुच्चन्ति, जराधम्मा सत्ता जराय परिमुच्चन्ति, मरणधम्मा सत्ता मरणेन परिमुच्चन्ति, सोकपरिदेवदुक्खदोमनस्सुपायासधम्मा सत्ता सोकपरिदेवदुक्खदोमनस्सुपायासेहि परिमुच्चन्ति?
“Katamañca taṁ, bhikkhave, ariyaṁ dhovanaṁ, yaṁ dhovanaṁ1 ekantanibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṁvattati, yaṁ dhovanaṁ āgamma jātidhammā sattā jātiyā parimuccanti, jarādhammā sattā jarāya parimuccanti, maraṇadhammā sattā maraṇena parimuccanti, sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsadhammā sattā sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsehi parimuccanti?
“And what is that noble washing?

Sammāvimuttissa, bhikkhave, micchāvimutti niddhotā hoti; ye ca micchāvimuttipaccayā aneke pāpakā akusalā dhammā sambhavanti te cassa niddhotā honti; sammāvimuttipaccayā ca aneke kusalā dhammā bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchanti.

For one of right freedom, wrong freedom is washed away. And the many bad, unskillful qualities that arise because of wrong freedom are washed away. And because of right freedom, many skillful qualities are fully developed. This is the noble washing that leads solely to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and Nibbana. Relying on this washing, sentient beings who are liable to rebirth, old age, and death, to sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress are freed from all these things.”
