Immersion (2nd)
तत्र खो भगवा भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “भिक्खवो”ति।
Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: “bhikkhavo”ti.
There the Buddha addressed the bhikkhus, “Bhikkhus!”
“भदन्ते”ति ते भिक्खू भगवतो पच्चस्सोसुं। भगवा एतदवोच:
“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ. Bhagavā etadavoca:
“Venerable sir,” they replied. The Buddha said this:
“सिया नु खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो तथारूपो समाधिपटिलाभो यथा नेव पथवियं पथविसञ्ञी अस्स, न आपस्मिं आपोसञ्ञी अस्स …पे… न आकिञ्चञ्ञायतने आकिञ्चञ्ञायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न नेवसञ्ञानासञ्ञायतने नेवसञ्ञानासञ्ञायतनसञ्ञी अस्स, न इधलोके इधलोकसञ्ञी अस्स, न परलोके परलोकसञ्ञी अस्स, यम्पिदं दिट्ठं सुतं मुतं विञ्ञातं पत्तं परियेसितं अनुविचरितं मनसा तत्रापि न सञ्ञी अस्स; सञ्ञी च पन अस्सा”ति?
“Siyā nu kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno tathārūpo samādhipaṭilābho yathā neva pathaviyaṁ pathavisaññī assa, na āpasmiṁ āposaññī assa …pe… na ākiñcaññāyatane ākiñcaññāyatanasaññī assa, na nevasaññānāsaññāyatane nevasaññānāsaññāyatanasaññī assa, na idhaloke idhalokasaññī assa, na paraloke paralokasaññī assa, yampidaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā tatrāpi na saññī assa; saññī ca pana assā”ti?
“Could it be, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu might gain a state of immersion like this? They wouldn’t perceive earth in earth, water in water, fire in fire, or air in air. And they wouldn’t perceive the dimension of infinite space in the dimension of infinite space, the dimension of infinite consciousness in the dimension of infinite consciousness, the dimension of nothingness in the dimension of nothingness, or the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception in the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. They wouldn’t perceive this world in this world, or the other world in the other world. And they wouldn’t perceive what is seen, heard, thought, known, attained, sought, or explored by the mind. And yet they would still perceive.”
“भगवंमूलका नो, भन्ते, धम्मा भगवंनेत्तिका भगवंपटिसरणा। साधु वत, भन्ते, भगवन्तंयेव पटिभातु एतस्स भासितस्स अत्थो। भगवतो सुत्वा भिक्खू धारेस्सन्ती”ति।
“Bhagavaṁmūlakā no, bhante, dhammā bhagavaṁnettikā bhagavaṁpaṭisaraṇā. Sādhu vata, bhante, bhagavantaṁyeva paṭibhātu etassa bhāsitassa attho. Bhagavato sutvā bhikkhū dhāressantī”ti.
“Our teachings are rooted in the Buddha. He is our guide and our refuge. Sir, may the Buddha himself please clarify the meaning of this. The bhikkhus will listen and remember it.”
“तेन हि, भिक्खवे, सुणाथ, साधुकं मनसि करोथ, भासिस्सामी”ति।
“Tena hi, bhikkhave, suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.
“Well then, bhikkhus, 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:
“सिया, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो तथारूपो समाधिपटिलाभो यथा नेव पथवियं पथविसञ्ञी अस्स …पे… यम्पिदं दिट्ठं सुतं मुतं विञ्ञातं पत्तं परियेसितं अनुविचरितं मनसा तत्रापि न सञ्ञी अस्स; सञ्ञी च पन अस्सा”ति।
“Siyā, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno tathārūpo samādhipaṭilābho yathā neva pathaviyaṁ pathavisaññī assa …pe… yampidaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā tatrāpi na saññī assa; saññī ca pana assā”ti.
“A bhikkhu could gain such a state of immersion.”
“यथा कथं पन, भन्ते, सिया भिक्खुनो तथारूपो समाधिपटिलाभो यथा नेव पथवियं पथविसञ्ञी अस्स …पे… यम्पिदं दिट्ठं सुतं मुतं विञ्ञातं पत्तं परियेसितं अनुविचरितं मनसा तत्रापि न सञ्ञी अस्स; सञ्ञी च पन अस्सा”ति?
“Yathā kathaṁ pana, bhante, siyā bhikkhuno tathārūpo samādhipaṭilābho yathā neva pathaviyaṁ pathavisaññī assa …pe… yampidaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā tatrāpi na saññī assa; saññī ca pana assā”ti?
“But how could this be?”
“इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु एवंसञ्ञी होति: ‘एतं सन्तं एतं पणीतं, यदिदं सब्बसङ्खारसमथो सब्बूपधिपटिनिस्सग्गो तण्हाक्खयो विरागो निरोधो निब्बानन्ऽति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, सिया भिक्खुनो तथारूपो समाधिपटिलाभो यथा नेव पथवियं पथविसञ्ञी अस्स …पे… यम्पिदं दिट्ठं सुतं मुतं विञ्ञातं पत्तं परियेसितं अनुविचरितं मनसा तत्रापि न सञ्ञी अस्स; सञ्ञी च पन अस्सा”ति।
“Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu evaṁsaññī hoti: ‘etaṁ santaṁ etaṁ paṇītaṁ, yadidaṁ sabbasaṅkhārasamatho sabbūpadhipaṭinissaggo taṇhākkhayo virāgo nirodho nibbānan’ti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, siyā bhikkhuno tathārūpo samādhipaṭilābho yathā neva pathaviyaṁ pathavisaññī assa …pe… yampidaṁ diṭṭhaṁ sutaṁ mutaṁ viññātaṁ pattaṁ pariyesitaṁ anuvicaritaṁ manasā tatrāpi na saññī assa; saññī ca pana assā”ti.
“It’s when a bhikkhu perceives: ‘This is peaceful; this is sublime—that is, the stilling of all activities, the letting go of all attachments, the ending of craving, fading away, cessation, Nibbana.’ That’s how a bhikkhu might gain a state of immersion like this. They wouldn’t perceive earth in earth, water in water, fire in fire, or air in air. And they wouldn’t perceive the dimension of infinite space in the dimension of infinite space, the dimension of infinite consciousness in the dimension of infinite consciousness, the dimension of nothingness in the dimension of nothingness, or the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception in the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. They wouldn’t perceive this world in this world, or the other world in the other world. And they wouldn’t perceive what is seen, heard, thought, known, attained, sought, or explored by the mind. And yet they would still perceive.”
