The Brahmin Life (2nd)
සාවත්ථිනිදානං.
At Sāvatthī.
“බ්රහ්මඤ්ඤඤ්ච වෝ, භික්ඛවේ, දේසේස්සාමි, බ්රහ්මඤ්ඤත්ථඤ්ච. තං සුණාථ.
“Bhikkhus, I will teach you life as a brahmin and the goal of life as a brahmin. Listen …
කතමඤ්ච, භික්ඛවේ, බ්රහ්මඤ්ඤං? අයමේව අරියෝ අට්ඨඞ්ගිකෝ මග්ගෝ, සේය්යථිදං—සම්මාදිට්ඨි …පේ… සම්මාසමාධි. ඉදං වුච්චති, භික්ඛවේ, බ්රහ්මඤ්ඤං.
And what is life as a brahmin? It is simply this noble eightfold path, that is: right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. This is called life as a brahmin.
කතමෝ ච, භික්ඛවේ, බ්රහ්මඤ්ඤත්ථෝ? යෝ ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, රාගක්ඛයෝ දෝසක්ඛයෝ මෝහක්ඛයෝ—අයං වුච්චති, භික්ඛවේ, බ්රහ්මඤ්ඤත්ථෝ”ති.
And what is the goal of life as a brahmin? The ending of greed, hate, and delusion. This is called the goal of life as a brahmin.”
අට්ඨමං.
