अथ खो आयस्मा आनन्दो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नं खो आयस्मन्तं आनन्दं भगवा एतदवोच:
Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ bhagavā etadavoca:
Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:
“ये, आनन्द, अनुकम्पेय्याथ ये च सोतब्बं मञ्ञेय्युं मित्ता वा अमच्चा वा ञाती वा सालोहिता वा ते वो, आनन्द, तीसु ठानेसु समादपेतब्बा निवेसेतब्बा पतिट्ठापेतब्बा। कतमेसु तीसु?
“Ye, ānanda, anukampeyyātha ye ca sotabbaṁ maññeyyuṁ mittā vā amaccā vā ñātī vā sālohitā vā te vo, ānanda, tīsu ṭhānesu samādapetabbā1 nivesetabbā patiṭṭhāpetabbā. Katamesu tīsu?
“Ānanda, those who you have sympathy for, and those worth listening to—friends and colleagues, relatives and family—should be encouraged, supported, and established in three things. What three?
बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादे समादपेतब्बा निवेसेतब्बा पतिट्ठापेतब्बा: ‘इतिपि सो भगवा अरहं सम्मासम्बुद्धो विज्जाचरणसम्पन्नो सुगतो लोकविदू अनुत्तरो पुरिसदम्मसारथि सत्था देवमनुस्सानं, बुद्धो भगवाऽति,
Buddhe aveccappasāde samādapetabbā nivesetabbā patiṭṭhāpetabbā: ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṁ, buddho bhagavā’ti,
Experiential confidence in the Buddha: ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’
धम्मे अवेच्चप्पसादे समादपेतब्बा निवेसेतब्बा पतिट्ठापेतब्बा: ‘स्वाक्खातो भगवता धम्मो सन्दिट्ठिको अकालिको एहिपस्सिको ओपनेय्यिको पच्चत्तं वेदितब्बो विञ्ञूहीऽति,
dhamme aveccappasāde samādapetabbā nivesetabbā patiṭṭhāpetabbā: ‘svākkhāto bhagavatā dhammo sandiṭṭhiko akāliko ehipassiko opaneyyiko paccattaṁ veditabbo viññūhī’ti,
Experiential confidence in the teaching: ‘The teaching is well explained by the Buddha—apparent in the present life, immediately effective, inviting inspection, relevant, so that sensible people can know it for themselves.’
सङ्घे अवेच्चप्पसादे समादपेतब्बा निवेसेतब्बा पतिट्ठापेतब्बा: ‘सुप्पटिपन्नो भगवतो सावकसङ्घो उजुप्पटिपन्नो भगवतो सावकसङ्घो ञायप्पटिपन्नो भगवतो सावकसङ्घो सामीचिप्पटिपन्नो भगवतो सावकसङ्घो, यदिदं चत्तारि पुरिसयुगानि अट्ठ पुरिसपुग्गला एस भगवतो सावकसङ्घो आहुनेय्यो पाहुनेय्यो दक्खिणेय्यो अञ्जलिकरणीयो अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्साऽति।
saṅghe aveccappasāde samādapetabbā nivesetabbā patiṭṭhāpetabbā: ‘suppaṭipanno bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho ujuppaṭipanno bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho ñāyappaṭipanno bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho sāmīcippaṭipanno bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho, yadidaṁ cattāri purisayugāni aṭṭha purisapuggalā esa bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho āhuneyyo pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassā’ti.
Experiential confidence in the Saṅgha: ‘The Saṅgha of the Buddha’s disciples is practicing the way that’s good, direct, systematic, and proper. It consists of the four pairs, the eight individuals. This is the Saṅgha of the Buddha’s disciples that is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of greeting with joined palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world.’
सिया, आनन्द, चतुन्नं महाभूतानं अञ्ञथत्तं—पथवीधातुया आपोधातुया तेजोधातुया वायोधातुया, न त्वेव बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागतस्स अरियसावकस्स सिया अञ्ञथत्तं तत्रिदं अञ्ञथत्तं। सो वतानन्द, बुद्धे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागतो अरियसावको निरयं वा तिरच्छानयोनिं वा पेत्तिविसयं वा उपपज्जिस्सतीति नेतं ठानं विज्जति।
Siyā, ānanda, catunnaṁ mahābhūtānaṁ aññathattaṁ—pathavīdhātuyā āpodhātuyā tejodhātuyā vāyodhātuyā, na tveva buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgatassa ariyasāvakassa siyā aññathattaṁ tatridaṁ aññathattaṁ. So vatānanda, buddhe aveccappasādena samannāgato ariyasāvako nirayaṁ vā tiracchānayoniṁ vā pettivisayaṁ vā upapajjissatīti netaṁ ṭhānaṁ vijjati.
There might be change in the four primary elements—earth, water, air, and fire—but a noble disciple with experiential confidence in the Buddha would never change. In this context, ‘change’ means that such a noble disciple will be reborn in hell, the animal realm, or the ghost realm: this is quite impossible.
सिया, आनन्द, चतुन्नं महाभूतानं अञ्ञथत्तं—पथवीधातुया आपोधातुया तेजोधातुया वायोधातुया, न त्वेव धम्मे …पे… न त्वेव सङ्घे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागतस्स अरियसावकस्स सिया अञ्ञथत्तं तत्रिदं अञ्ञथत्तं। सो वतानन्द, सङ्घे अवेच्चप्पसादेन समन्नागतो अरियसावको निरयं वा तिरच्छानयोनिं वा पेत्तिविसयं वा उपपज्जिस्सतीति नेतं ठानं विज्जति।
Siyā, ānanda, catunnaṁ mahābhūtānaṁ aññathattaṁ—pathavīdhātuyā āpodhātuyā tejodhātuyā vāyodhātuyā, na tveva dhamme …pe… na tveva saṅghe aveccappasādena samannāgatassa ariyasāvakassa siyā aññathattaṁ tatridaṁ aññathattaṁ. So vatānanda, saṅghe aveccappasādena samannāgato ariyasāvako nirayaṁ vā tiracchānayoniṁ vā pettivisayaṁ vā upapajjissatīti netaṁ ṭhānaṁ vijjati.
There might be change in the four primary elements—earth, water, air, and fire—but a noble disciple with experiential confidence in the teaching … or the Saṅgha would never change. In this context, ‘change’ means that such a noble disciple will be reborn in hell, the animal realm, or the ghost realm: this is quite impossible.
ये, आनन्द, अनुकम्पेय्याथ ये च सोतब्बं मञ्ञेय्युं मित्ता वा अमच्चा वा ञाती वा सालोहिता वा ते वो, आनन्द, इमेसु तीसु ठानेसु समादपेतब्बा निवेसेतब्बा पतिट्ठापेतब्बा”ति।
Ye, ānanda, anukampeyyātha ye ca sotabbaṁ maññeyyuṁ mittā vā amaccā vā ñātī vā sālohitā vā te vo, ānanda, imesu tīsu ṭhānesu samādapetabbā nivesetabbā patiṭṭhāpetabbā”ti.
Those who you have sympathy for, and those worth listening to—friends and colleagues, relatives and family—should be encouraged, supported, and established in these three things.”
