បោក្ខរណីសុត្ត
A Lotus Pond
“សេយ្យថាបិ, ភិក្ខវេ, បោក្ខរណី បញ្ញាសយោជនានិ អាយាមេន, បញ្ញាសយោជនានិ វិត្ថារេន, បញ្ញាសយោជនានិ ឧព្ពេធេន, បុណ្ណា ឧទកស្ស សមតិត្តិកា កាកបេយ្យា។ តតោ បុរិសោ កុសគ្គេន ឧទកំ ឧទ្ធរេយ្យ។
“Bhikkhus, suppose there was a lotus pond that was fifty leagues long, fifty leagues wide, and fifty leagues deep, full to the brim so a crow could drink from it. Then a person would pick up some water on the tip of a blade of grass.
តំ កិំ មញ្ញថ, ភិក្ខវេ, កតមំ នុ ខោ ពហុតរំ—យំ វា កុសគ្គេន ឧព្ភតំ, យំ វា បោក្ខរណិយា ឧទកន៑”តិ?
What do you think, bhikkhus? Which is more: the water on the tip of the blade of grass, or the water in the lotus pond?”
“ឯតទេវ, ភន្តេ, ពហុតរំ, យទិទំ—បោក្ខរណិយា ឧទកំ; អប្បមត្តកំ កុសគ្គេន ឧទកំ ឧព្ភតំ។ សង្ខម្បិ ន ឧបេតិ, ឧបនិធម្បិ ន ឧបេតិ, កលភាគម្បិ ន ឧបេតិ បោក្ខរណិយា ឧទកំ ឧបនិធាយ កុសគ្គេន ឧទកំ ឧព្ភតន៑”តិ។
“Sir, the water in the lotus pond is certainly more. The water on the tip of a blade of grass is tiny. Compared to the water in the lotus pond, it doesn’t count, there’s no comparison, it’s not worth a fraction.”
“ឯវមេវ ខោ, ភិក្ខវេ, អរិយសាវកស្ស …បេ…
“In the same way, for a noble disciple …
យោគោ ករណីយោ”តិ។
That’s why you should practice meditation …”
