Orimatīrasutta
The Near Shore
“ओरिमञ्च, भिक्खवे, तीरं देसेस्सामि पारिमञ्च तीरं। तं सुणाथ, साधुकं मनसि करोथ, भासिस्सामी”ति।
“Orimañca, bhikkhave, tīraṁ desessāmi pārimañca tīraṁ. Taṁ suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.
“Bhikkhus, I will teach you the near shore and the far shore. 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:
“कतमञ्च, भिक्खवे, ओरिमं तीरं, कतमञ्च पारिमं तीरं? मिच्छादिट्ठि ओरिमं तीरं, सम्मादिट्ठि पारिमं तीरं …पे… मिच्छाविमुत्ति ओरिमं तीरं, सम्माविमुत्ति पारिमं तीरं। इदं खो, भिक्खवे, ओरिमं तीरं, इदं पारिमं तीरन्ति।
“Katamañca, bhikkhave, orimaṁ tīraṁ, katamañca pārimaṁ tīraṁ? Micchādiṭṭhi orimaṁ tīraṁ, sammādiṭṭhi pārimaṁ tīraṁ …pe… micchāvimutti orimaṁ tīraṁ, sammāvimutti pārimaṁ tīraṁ. Idaṁ kho, bhikkhave, orimaṁ tīraṁ, idaṁ pārimaṁ tīranti.
“And what, bhikkhus, is the near shore? What is the far shore? Wrong view is the near shore, and right view is the far shore. … Wrong freedom is the near shore, and right freedom is the far shore. This is the near shore, and this is the far shore.
अप्पका ते मनुस्सेसु, ये जना पारगामिनो; अथायं इतरा पजा, तीरमेवानुधावति।
Appakā te manussesu, ye janā pāragāmino; Athāyaṁ itarā pajā, tīramevānudhāvati.
Few are those among humans who cross to the far shore. The rest just run around on the near shore.
ये च खो सम्मदक्खाते, धम्मे धम्मानुवत्तिनो; ते जना पारमेस्सन्ति, मच्चुधेय्यं सुदुत्तरं।
Ye ca kho sammadakkhāte, dhamme dhammānuvattino; Te janā pāramessanti, maccudheyyaṁ suduttaraṁ.
When the teaching is well explained, those who practice accordingly are the ones who will cross over Death’s domain so hard to pass.
कण्हं धम्मं विप्पहाय, सुक्कं भावेथ पण्डितो; ओका अनोकमागम्म, विवेके यत्थ दूरमं।
Kaṇhaṁ dhammaṁ vippahāya, sukkaṁ bhāvetha paṇḍito; Okā anokamāgamma, viveke yattha dūramaṁ.
Rid of dark qualities, an astute person should develop the bright. Leaving home behind for the seclusion so hard to enjoy,
तत्राभिरतिमिच्छेय्य, हित्वा कामे अकिञ्चनो; परियोदपेय्य अत्तानं, चित्तक्लेसेहि पण्डितो।
Tatrābhiratimiccheyya, hitvā kāme akiñcano; Pariyodapeyya attānaṁ, cittaklesehi paṇḍito.
you should try to find delight there, having left behind sensual pleasures. With no possessions, an astute person should cleanse themselves of mental corruptions.
येसं सम्बोधियङ्गेसु, सम्मा चित्तं सुभावितं; आदानपटिनिस्सग्गे, अनुपादाय ये रता; खीणासवा जुतिमन्तो, ते लोके परिनिब्बुता”ति।
Yesaṁ sambodhiyaṅgesu, sammā cittaṁ subhāvitaṁ; Ādānapaṭinissagge, anupādāya ye ratā; Khīṇāsavā jutimanto, te loke parinibbutā”ti.
And those whose minds are rightly developed in the awakening factors; letting go of attachments, they delight in not grasping. With defilements ended, brilliant, they are extinguished in this world.”
छट्ठं।
Chaṭṭhaṁ.
