Factors That Support Meditation
“पञ्चिमानि, भिक्खवे, पधानियङ्गानि। कतमानि पञ्च?
“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, padhāniyaṅgāni. Katamāni pañca?
“Bhikkhus, there are these five factors that support meditation. What five?
इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सद्धो होति, सद्दहति तथागतस्स बोधिं: ‘इतिपि सो भगवा अरहं सम्मासम्बुद्धो विज्जाचरणसम्पन्नो सुगतो लोकविदू अनुत्तरो पुरिसदम्मसारथि सत्था देवमनुस्सानं बुद्धो भगवाऽति।
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu saddho hoti, saddahati tathāgatassa bodhiṁ: ‘itipi so bhagavā arahaṁ sammāsambuddho vijjācaraṇasampanno sugato lokavidū anuttaro purisadammasārathi satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavā’ti.
It’s when a bhikkhu has faith in the Realized One’s awakening: ‘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.’
अप्पाबाधो होति अप्पातङ्को; समवेपाकिनिया गहणिया समन्नागतो नातिसीताय नाच्चुण्हाय मज्झिमाय पधानक्खमाय;
Appābādho hoti appātaṅko; samavepākiniyā gahaṇiyā samannāgato nātisītāya nāccuṇhāya majjhimāya padhānakkhamāya;
They are rarely ill or unwell. Their stomach digests well, being neither too hot nor too cold, but just right, and fit for meditation.
असठो होति अमायावी; यथाभूतं अत्तानं आविकत्ता सत्थरि वा विञ्ञूसु वा सब्रह्मचारीसु;
asaṭho hoti amāyāvī; yathābhūtaṁ attānaṁ āvikattā satthari vā viññūsu vā sabrahmacārīsu;
They’re not devious or deceitful. They reveal themselves honestly to the Teacher or sensible spiritual companions.
आरद्धवीरियो विहरति अकुसलानं धम्मानं पहानाय कुसलानं धम्मानं उपसम्पदाय, थामवा दळ्हपरक्कमो अनिक्खित्तधुरो कुसलेसु धम्मेसु;
āraddhavīriyo viharati akusalānaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya kusalānaṁ dhammānaṁ upasampadāya, thāmavā daḷhaparakkamo anikkhittadhuro kusalesu dhammesu;
They live with energy roused up for giving up unskillful qualities and embracing skillful qualities. They’re strong, staunchly vigorous, not slacking off when it comes to developing skillful qualities.
पञ्ञवा होति, उदयत्थगामिनिया पञ्ञाय समन्नागतो अरियाय निब्बेधिकाय सम्मा दुक्खक्खयगामिनिया।
paññavā hoti, udayatthagāminiyā paññāya samannāgato ariyāya nibbedhikāya sammā dukkhakkhayagāminiyā.
They’re wise. They have the wisdom of arising and passing away which is noble, penetrative, and leads to the complete ending of suffering.
इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च पधानियङ्गानी”ति।
Imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca padhāniyaṅgānī”ti.
These are the five factors that support meditation.”
