“सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, सामुद्दिकाय नावाय वेत्तबन्धनबन्धाय छ मासानि उदके परियादाय हेमन्तिकेन थलं उक्खित्ताय वातातपपरेतानि बन्धनानि तानि पावुस्सकेन मेघेन अभिप्पवुट्ठानि अप्पकसिरेनेव पटिप्पस्सम्भन्ति, पूतिकानि भवन्ति; एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावयतो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोतो अप्पकसिरेनेव संयोजनानि पटिप्पस्सम्भन्ति, पूतिकानि भवन्ति।
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, sāmuddikāya nāvāya vettabandhanabandhāya cha māsāni udake pariyādāya1 hemantikena thalaṁ ukkhittāya vātātapaparetāni bandhanāni tāni pāvussakena meghena abhippavuṭṭhāni appakasireneva paṭippassambhanti, pūtikāni bhavanti; evameva kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvayato ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaroto appakasireneva saṁyojanāni paṭippassambhanti, pūtikāni bhavanti.
“Bhikkhus, suppose there was a sea-faring ship bound together with ropes. For six months they deteriorated in the water. Then in the cold season it was hauled up on dry land, where the ropes were weathered by wind and sun. When the clouds soaked it with rain, the ropes would readily collapse and rot away. In the same way, when a bhikkhu develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path their fetters readily collapse and rot away.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावयतो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोतो अप्पकसिरेनेव संयोजनानि पटिप्पस्सम्भन्ति, पूतिकानि भवन्ति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिं भावेति …पे… सम्मासमाधिं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोस्सग्गपरिणामिं … एवं खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावयतो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोतो अप्पकसिरेनेव संयोजनानि पटिप्पस्सम्भन्ति, पूतिकानि भवन्ती”ति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvayato ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaroto appakasireneva saṁyojanāni paṭippassambhanti, pūtikāni bhavanti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ … evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvayato ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaroto appakasireneva saṁyojanāni paṭippassambhanti, pūtikāni bhavantī”ti.
And how do they develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path so that their fetters readily collapse and rot away? It’s when a bhikkhu develops right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go. That’s how they develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path so that their fetters readily collapse and rot away.”
