A Great Tree (2nd)
सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, महारुक्खो। तस्स यानि चेव मूलानि अधोगमानि, यानि च तिरियङ्गमानि, सब्बानि तानि उद्धं ओजं अभिहरन्ति। एवञ्हि सो, भिक्खवे, महारुक्खो तदाहारो तदुपादानो चिरं दीघमद्धानं तिट्ठेय्य।
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, mahārukkho. Tassa yāni ceva mūlāni adhogamāni, yāni ca tiriyaṅgamāni, sabbāni tāni uddhaṁ ojaṁ abhiharanti. Evañhi so, bhikkhave, mahārukkho tadāhāro tadupādāno ciraṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ tiṭṭheyya.
“Bhikkhus, suppose there was a great tree. And its roots going downwards and across all draw the sap upwards. Fueled and sustained by that, the great tree would stand for a long time.
एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, उपादानियेसु धम्मेसु अस्सादानुपस्सिनो विहरतो तण्हा पवड्ढति। तण्हापच्चया उपादानं …पे… एवमेतस्स केवलस्स दुक्खक्खन्धस्स समुदयो होति।
Evameva kho, bhikkhave, upādāniyesu dhammesu assādānupassino viharato taṇhā pavaḍḍhati. Taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṁ …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.
In the same way, there are things that are prone to being grasped. When you concentrate on the gratification provided by these things, your craving grows. Craving is a condition for grasping. … That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, महारुक्खो। अथ पुरिसो आगच्छेय्य कुद्दालपिटकं आदाय। सो तं रुक्खं मूले छिन्देय्य, मूले छेत्वा पलिखणेय्य, पलिखणित्वा मूलानि उद्धरेय्य …पे… नदिया वा सीघसोताय पवाहेय्य। एवञ्हि सो, भिक्खवे, महारुक्खो उच्छिन्नमूलो अस्स तालावत्थुकतो अनभावङ्कतो आयतिं अनुप्पादधम्मो।
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, mahārukkho. Atha puriso āgaccheyya kuddālapiṭakaṁ ādāya. So taṁ rukkhaṁ mūle chindeyya, mūle chetvā palikhaṇeyya, palikhaṇitvā mūlāni uddhareyya …pe… nadiyā vā sīghasotāya pavāheyya. Evañhi so, bhikkhave, mahārukkho ucchinnamūlo assa tālāvatthukato anabhāvaṅkato āyatiṁ anuppādadhammo.
Suppose there was a great tree. Then a person comes along with a spade and basket. They’d cut the tree down at the roots, dig them up, and pull them out, down to the fibers and stems. They’d cut the tree apart, cut up the parts, and chop it into splinters. They’d dry the splinters in the wind and sun, burn them with fire, and reduce them to ashes. Then they’d winnow the ashes in a strong wind, or float them away down a swift stream. In this way the great tree is cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, and unable to arise in the future.
एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, उपादानियेसु धम्मेसु आदीनवानुपस्सिनो विहरतो तण्हा निरुज्झति। तण्हानिरोधा उपादाननिरोधो …पे… एवमेतस्स केवलस्स दुक्खक्खन्धस्स निरोधो होती”ति।
Evameva kho, bhikkhave, upādāniyesu dhammesu ādīnavānupassino viharato taṇhā nirujjhati. Taṇhānirodhā upādānanirodho …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī”ti.
In the same way, there are things that are prone to being grasped. When you concentrate on the drawbacks of these things, your craving ceases. When craving ceases, grasping ceases. … That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.”
