A Safe Place
“‘खेमं, खेमन्ऽति, आवुसो, वुच्चति। कित्तावता नु खो, आवुसो, खेमं वुत्तं भगवता”ति?
“‘Khemaṁ, kheman’ti, āvuso, vuccati. Kittāvatā nu kho, āvuso, khemaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā”ti?
“Friend, they speak of ‘a safe place’. In what way did the Buddha speak of a safe place?”
“इधावुसो, भिक्खु विविच्चेव कामेहि …पे… पठमं झानं उपसम्पज्ज विहरति। एत्तावतापि खो, आवुसो, खेमं वुत्तं भगवता परियायेन …पे…।
“Idhāvuso, bhikkhu vivicceva kāmehi …pe… paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharati. Ettāvatāpi kho, āvuso, khemaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā pariyāyena …pe….
“First, take a bhikkhu who, quite secluded from sensual pleasures … enters and remains in the first jhāna. To this extent the Buddha spoke of a safe place in a qualified sense. …
पुन चपरं, आवुसो, भिक्खु सब्बसो नेवसञ्ञानासञ्ञायतनं समतिक्कम्म सञ्ञावेदयितनिरोधं उपसम्पज्ज विहरति, पञ्ञाय चस्स दिस्वा आसवा परिक्खीणा होन्ति। एत्तावतापि खो, आवुसो, खेमं वुत्तं भगवता निप्परियायेना”ति।
Puna caparaṁ, āvuso, bhikkhu sabbaso nevasaññānāsaññāyatanaṁ samatikkamma saññāvedayitanirodhaṁ upasampajja viharati, paññāya cassa disvā āsavā parikkhīṇā honti. Ettāvatāpi kho, āvuso, khemaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā nippariyāyenā”ti.
Furthermore, take a bhikkhu who, going totally beyond the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception, enters and remains in the cessation of perception and feeling. And, having seen with wisdom, their defilements come to an end. To this extent the Buddha spoke of a safe place in a definitive sense.”
