“‘ब्रह्मचरियं, ब्रह्मचरियन्ऽति, आवुसो आनन्द, वुच्चति। कतमं नु खो, आवुसो, ब्रह्मचरियं, कतमं ब्रह्मचरियपरियोसानन्”ति?
“‘Brahmacariyaṁ, brahmacariyan’ti, āvuso ānanda, vuccati. Katamaṁ nu kho, āvuso, brahmacariyaṁ, katamaṁ brahmacariyapariyosānan”ti?
“Friend, they speak of this thing called the ‘spiritual path’. What is the spiritual path? And what is the culmination of the spiritual path?”
“साधु साधु, आवुसो भद्द। भद्दको खो ते, आवुसो भद्द, उम्मङ्गो, भद्दकं पटिभानं, कल्याणी परिपुच्छा। एवञ्हि त्वं, आवुसो भद्द, पुच्छसि: ‘ब्रह्मचरियं, ब्रह्मचरियन्ति, आवुसो आनन्द, वुच्चति। कतमं नु खो, आवुसो, ब्रह्मचरियं, कतमं ब्रह्मचरियपरियोसानन्ऽ”ति?
“Sādhu sādhu, āvuso bhadda. Bhaddako kho te, āvuso bhadda, ummaṅgo, bhaddakaṁ paṭibhānaṁ, kalyāṇī paripucchā. Evañhi tvaṁ, āvuso bhadda, pucchasi: ‘brahmacariyaṁ, brahmacariyanti, āvuso ānanda, vuccati. Katamaṁ nu kho, āvuso, brahmacariyaṁ, katamaṁ brahmacariyapariyosānan’”ti?
“Good, good, Friend Bhadda! Your approach and articulation are excellent, and it’s a good question. For you asked: ‘They speak of this thing called “the spiritual path”. What is the spiritual path? And what is the culmination of the spiritual path?’”
“एवमावुसो”ति।
“Evamāvuso”ti.
“Yes, friend.”
“अयमेव खो, आवुसो, अरियो अट्ठङ्गिको मग्गो ब्रह्मचरियं, सेय्यथिदं—सम्मादिट्ठि …पे… सम्मासमाधि।
“Ayameva kho, āvuso, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo brahmacariyaṁ, seyyathidaṁ—sammādiṭṭhi …pe… sammāsamādhi.
“The spiritual path 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.
यो खो, आवुसो, रागक्खयो दोसक्खयो मोहक्खयो—इदं ब्रह्मचरियपरियोसानन्”ति।
Yo kho, āvuso, rāgakkhayo dosakkhayo mohakkhayo—idaṁ brahmacariyapariyosānan”ti.
The ending of greed, hate, and delusion: this is the culmination of the spiritual path.”
