The Infirmary (2nd)
एकं समयं भगवा वेसालियं विहरति महावने कूटागारसालायं।
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā vesāliyaṁ viharati mahāvane kūṭāgārasālāyaṁ.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof.
अथ खो भगवा सायन्हसमयं पटिसल्लाना वुट्ठितो येन गिलानसाला तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा पञ्ञत्ते आसने निसीदि। निसज्ज खो भगवा भिक्खू आमन्तेसि:
Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena gilānasālā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi. Nisajja kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:
Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to the infirmary, where he sat down on the seat spread out, and addressed the bhikkhus:
“सतो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्पजानो कालं आगमेय्य। अयं वो अम्हाकं अनुसासनी।
“Sato, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajāno kālaṁ āgameyya. Ayaṁ vo amhākaṁ anusāsanī.
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu should await their time mindful and aware. This is my instruction to you.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सतो होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु काये कायानुपस्सी विहरति आतापी सम्पजानो सतिमा, विनेय्य लोके अभिज्झादोमनस्सं; वेदनासु वेदनानुपस्सी विहरति … चित्ते चित्तानुपस्सी विहरति … धम्मेसु धम्मानुपस्सी विहरति आतापी सम्पजानो सतिमा, विनेय्य लोके अभिज्झादोमनस्सं। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सतो होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sato hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye kāyānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ; vedanāsu vedanānupassī viharati … citte cittānupassī viharati … dhammesu dhammānupassī viharati ātāpī sampajāno satimā, vineyya loke abhijjhādomanassaṁ. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sato hoti.
And how is a bhikkhu mindful? It’s when a bhikkhu meditates by observing an aspect of the body—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world. They meditate observing an aspect of feelings … They meditate observing an aspect of the mind … They meditate observing an aspect of principles—keen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world. That’s how a bhikkhu is mindful.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्पजानो होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु अभिक्कन्ते पटिक्कन्ते सम्पजानकारी होति …पे… भासिते तुण्हीभावे सम्पजानकारी होति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्पजानो होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajāno hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu abhikkante paṭikkante sampajānakārī hoti …pe… bhāsite tuṇhībhāve sampajānakārī hoti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajāno hoti.
And how is a bhikkhu aware? It’s when a bhikkhu acts with situational awareness when going out and coming back; when looking ahead and aside; when bending and extending the limbs; when bearing the outer robe, bowl and robes; when eating, drinking, chewing, and tasting; when urinating and defecating; when walking, standing, sitting, sleeping, waking, speaking, and keeping silent. That’s how a bhikkhu is aware.
सतो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्पजानो कालं आगमेय्य। अयं वो अम्हाकं अनुसासनी।
Sato, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sampajāno kālaṁ āgameyya. Ayaṁ vo amhākaṁ anusāsanī.
A bhikkhu should await their time mindful and aware. This is my instruction to you.
तस्स चे, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो एवं सतस्स सम्पजानस्स अप्पमत्तस्स आतापिनो पहितत्तस्स विहरतो उप्पज्जति सुखा वेदना। सो एवं पजानाति: ‘उप्पन्ना खो म्यायं सुखा वेदना; सा च खो पटिच्च, नो अप्पटिच्च। किं पटिच्च? इममेव फस्सं पटिच्च। अयं खो पन फस्सो अनिच्चो सङ्खतो पटिच्चसमुप्पन्नो। अनिच्चं खो पन सङ्खतं पटिच्चसमुप्पन्नं फस्सं पटिच्च उप्पन्ना सुखा वेदना कुतो निच्चा भविस्सतीऽति। सो फस्से च सुखाय च वेदनाय अनिच्चानुपस्सी विहरति, वयानुपस्सी विहरति, विरागानुपस्सी विहरति, निरोधानुपस्सी विहरति, पटिनिस्सग्गानुपस्सी विहरति। तस्स फस्से च सुखाय च वेदनाय अनिच्चानुपस्सिनो विहरतो, वयानुपस्सिनो विहरतो, विरागानुपस्सिनो विहरतो, निरोधानुपस्सिनो विहरतो, पटिनिस्सग्गानुपस्सिनो विहरतो यो फस्से च सुखाय च वेदनाय रागानुसयो, सो पहीयति।
Tassa ce, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno evaṁ satassa sampajānassa appamattassa ātāpino pahitattassa viharato uppajjati sukhā vedanā. So evaṁ pajānāti: ‘uppannā kho myāyaṁ sukhā vedanā; sā ca kho paṭicca, no appaṭicca. Kiṁ paṭicca? Imameva phassaṁ paṭicca. Ayaṁ kho pana phasso anicco saṅkhato paṭiccasamuppanno. Aniccaṁ kho pana saṅkhataṁ paṭiccasamuppannaṁ phassaṁ paṭicca uppannā sukhā vedanā kuto niccā bhavissatī’ti. So phasse ca sukhāya ca vedanāya aniccānupassī viharati, vayānupassī viharati, virāgānupassī viharati, nirodhānupassī viharati, paṭinissaggānupassī viharati. Tassa phasse ca sukhāya ca vedanāya aniccānupassino viharato, vayānupassino viharato, virāgānupassino viharato, nirodhānupassino viharato, paṭinissaggānupassino viharato yo phasse ca sukhāya ca vedanāya rāgānusayo, so pahīyati.
While a bhikkhu is meditating like this—mindful, aware, diligent, keen, and resolute—if pleasant feelings arise, they understand: ‘A pleasant feeling has arisen in me. That’s dependent, not independent. Dependent on what? Dependent on this very contact. But this contact is impermanent, conditioned, dependently originated. So how could a pleasant feeling be permanent, since it has arisen dependent on contact that is impermanent, conditioned, and dependently originated?’ They meditate observing impermanence, vanishing, dispassion, cessation, and letting go in contact and pleasant feeling. As they do so, they give up the underlying tendency for greed for contact and pleasant feeling.
तस्स चे, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो एवं सतस्स …पे… विहरतो उप्पज्जति दुक्खा वेदना …पे… उप्पज्जति अदुक्खमसुखा वेदना। सो एवं पजानाति: ‘उप्पन्ना खो म्यायं अदुक्खमसुखा वेदना; सा च खो पटिच्च, नो अप्पटिच्च। किं पटिच्च? इममेव फस्सं पटिच्च।
Tassa ce, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno evaṁ satassa …pe… viharato uppajjati dukkhā vedanā …pe… uppajjati adukkhamasukhā vedanā. So evaṁ pajānāti: ‘uppannā kho myāyaṁ adukkhamasukhā vedanā; sā ca kho paṭicca, no appaṭicca. Kiṁ paṭicca? Imameva phassaṁ paṭicca.
While a bhikkhu is meditating like this—mindful, aware, diligent, keen, and resolute—if painful feelings arise … if neutral feelings arise, they understand: ‘A neutral feeling has arisen in me. That’s dependent, not independent. Dependent on what? Dependent on this very contact.
(यथा पुरिमसुत्ते, तथा वित्थारेतब्बो।)
(Yathā purimasutte, tathā vitthāretabbo.)
(Tell in full as in the previous discourse.)
कायस्स भेदा उद्धं जीवितपरियादाना इधेव सब्बवेदयितानि अनभिनन्दितानि सीतीभविस्सन्तीऽति पजानाति।
Kāyassa bhedā uddhaṁ jīvitapariyādānā idheva sabbavedayitāni anabhinanditāni sītībhavissantī’ti pajānāti.
They understand: ‘When my body breaks up and my life is over, everything that’s felt, since I no longer take pleasure in it, will become cool right here.’
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, तेलञ्च पटिच्च वट्टिञ्च पटिच्च तेलप्पदीपो झायेय्य, तस्सेव तेलस्स च वट्टिया च परियादाना अनाहारो निब्बायेय्य;
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, telañca paṭicca vaṭṭiñca paṭicca telappadīpo jhāyeyya, tasseva telassa ca vaṭṭiyā ca pariyādānā anāhāro nibbāyeyya;
Suppose an oil lamp depended on oil and a wick to burn. As the oil and the wick are used up, it would be extinguished due to lack of fuel.
एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु कायपरियन्तिकं वेदनं वेदयमानो ‘कायपरियन्तिकं वेदनं वेदयामीऽति पजानाति। जीवितपरियन्तिकं वेदनं वेदयमानो ‘जीवितपरियन्तिकं वेदनं वेदयामीऽति पजानाति। ‘कायस्स भेदा उद्धं जीवितपरियादाना इधेव सब्बवेदयितानि अनभिनन्दितानि सीतीभविस्सन्तीऽति पजानाती”ति।
evameva kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāyapariyantikaṁ vedanaṁ vedayamāno ‘kāyapariyantikaṁ vedanaṁ vedayāmī’ti pajānāti. Jīvitapariyantikaṁ vedanaṁ vedayamāno ‘jīvitapariyantikaṁ vedanaṁ vedayāmī’ti pajānāti. ‘Kāyassa bhedā uddhaṁ jīvitapariyādānā idheva sabbavedayitāni anabhinanditāni sītībhavissantī’ti pajānātī”ti.
In the same way, feeling the end of the body approaching, a bhikkhu understands: ‘I feel the end of the body approaching.’ Feeling the end of life approaching, they understand: ‘I feel the end of life approaching.’ They understand: ‘When my body breaks up and my life is over, everything that’s felt, since I no longer take pleasure in it, will become cool right here.’”
