Dying as Ghosts and Reborn as Ghosts
… “एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, अप्पका ते सत्ता ये पेत्तिविसया चुता देवेसु पच्चाजायन्ति; अथ खो एतेव बहुतरा सत्ता ये पेत्तिविसया चुता पेत्तिविसये पच्चाजायन्ति। तं किस्स हेतु? अदिट्ठत्ता, भिक्खवे, चतुन्नं अरियसच्चानं। कतमेसं चतुन्नं? दुक्खस्स अरियसच्चस्स, दुक्खसमुदयस्स अरियसच्चस्स, दुक्खनिरोधस्स अरियसच्चस्स, दुक्खनिरोधगामिनिया पटिपदाय अरियसच्चस्स।
… “Evameva kho, bhikkhave, appakā te sattā ye pettivisayā cutā devesu paccājāyanti; atha kho eteva bahutarā sattā ye pettivisayā cutā pettivisaye paccājāyanti. Taṁ kissa hetu? Adiṭṭhattā, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ ariyasaccānaṁ. Katamesaṁ catunnaṁ? Dukkhassa ariyasaccassa, dukkhasamudayassa ariyasaccassa, dukkhanirodhassa ariyasaccassa, dukkhanirodhagāminiyā paṭipadāya ariyasaccassa.
“… the sentient beings who die as ghosts and are reborn as gods are few, while those who die as ghosts and are reborn in the ghost realm are many. Why is that? It’s because they haven’t seen the four noble truths. What four? The noble truths of suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering.
तस्मातिह, भिक्खवे, ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति योगो करणीयो, ‘अयं दुक्खसमुदयोऽति योगो करणीयो, ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधोऽति योगो करणीयो, ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति योगो करणीयो”ति।
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo, ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti yogo karaṇīyo, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti yogo karaṇīyo, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.
That’s why you should practice meditation to understand: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’.”
इदमवोच भगवा। अत्तमना ते भिक्खू भगवतो भासितं अभिनन्दुन्ति।
Idamavoca bhagavā. Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandunti.
