“सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, गिम्हानं पच्छिमे मासे ऊहतं रजोजल्लं, तमेनं महाअकालमेघो ठानसो अन्तरधापेति वूपसमेति; एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेन्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोन्तो उप्पन्नुप्पन्ने पापके अकुसले धम्मे ठानसो अन्तरधापेति वूपसमेति।
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, gimhānaṁ pacchime māse ūhataṁ rajojallaṁ, tamenaṁ mahāakālamegho ṭhānaso antaradhāpeti vūpasameti; evameva kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvento ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaronto uppannuppanne pāpake akusale dhamme ṭhānaso antaradhāpeti vūpasameti.
“Bhikkhus, in the last month of summer, when the dust and dirt is stirred up, a large sudden storm disperses and settles it on the spot. In the same way, a bhikkhu who develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path disperses and stills bad, unskillful qualities on the spot.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेन्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोन्तो उप्पन्नुप्पन्ने पापके अकुसले धम्मे ठानसो अन्तरधापेति वूपसमेति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिं भावेति …पे… सम्मासमाधिं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोस्सग्गपरिणामिं … एवं खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेन्तो अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोन्तो उप्पन्नुप्पन्ने पापके अकुसले धम्मे ठानसो अन्तरधापेति वूपसमेती”ति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvento ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaronto uppannuppanne pāpake akusale dhamme ṭhānaso antaradhāpeti vūpasameti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ … evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvento ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaronto uppannuppanne pāpake akusale dhamme ṭhānaso antaradhāpeti vūpasametī”ti.
How does a bhikkhu who develops the noble eightfold path disperse and still bad, unskillful qualities on the spot? 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 a bhikkhu who develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path disperses and stills bad, unskillful qualities on the spot.”
