एकं समयं भगवा सावत्थियं विहरति जेतवने अनाथपिण्डिकस्स आरामे। तत्र खो भगवा भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “भिक्खवो”ति।
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: “bhikkhavo”ti.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. There the Buddha addressed the bhikkhus, “Bhikkhus!”
“भदन्ते”ति ते भिक्खू भगवतो पच्चस्सोसुं। भगवा एतदवोच:
“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ. Bhagavā etadavoca:
“Venerable sir,” they replied. The Buddha said this:
“नो चे, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु परचित्तपरियायकुसलो होति, अथ ‘सचित्तपरियायकुसलो भविस्सामीऽति—एवञ्हि वो, भिक्खवे, सिक्खितब्बं।
“No ce, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paracittapariyāyakusalo hoti, atha ‘sacittapariyāyakusalo bhavissāmī’ti—evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabbaṁ.
“Bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu isn’t skilled in the ways of another’s mind, then they should train themselves: ‘I will be skilled in the ways of my own mind.’
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सचित्तपरियायकुसलो होति? सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, इत्थी वा पुरिसो वा दहरो युवा मण्डनकजातिको आदासे वा परिसुद्धे परियोदाते अच्छे वा उदकपत्ते सकं मुखनिमित्तं पच्चवेक्खमानो सचे तत्थ पस्सति रजं वा अङ्गणं वा, तस्सेव रजस्स वा अङ्गणस्स वा पहानाय वायमति। नो चे तत्थ पस्सति रजं वा अङ्गणं वा, तेनेवत्तमनो होति परिपुण्णसङ्कप्पो: ‘लाभा वत मे, परिसुद्धं वत मेऽति। एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो पच्चवेक्खणा बहुकारा होति कुसलेसु धम्मेसु: ‘अभिज्झालु नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, अनभिज्झालु नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, ब्यापन्नचित्तो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, अब्यापन्नचित्तो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, थिनमिद्धपरियुट्ठितो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, विगतथिनमिद्धो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, उद्धतो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, अनुद्धतो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, विचिकिच्छो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, तिण्णविचिकिच्छो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, कोधनो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, अक्कोधनो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, सङ्किलिट्ठचित्तो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, असङ्किलिट्ठचित्तो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, सारद्धकायो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, असारद्धकायो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, कुसीतो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, आरद्धवीरियो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, असमाहितो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, समाहितो नु खो बहुलं विहरामीऽति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sacittapariyāyakusalo hoti? Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, itthī vā puriso vā daharo yuvā maṇḍanakajātiko ādāse vā parisuddhe pariyodāte acche vā udakapatte sakaṁ mukhanimittaṁ paccavekkhamāno sace tattha passati rajaṁ vā aṅgaṇaṁ vā, tasseva rajassa vā aṅgaṇassa vā pahānāya vāyamati. No ce tattha passati rajaṁ vā aṅgaṇaṁ vā, tenevattamano hoti paripuṇṇasaṅkappo: ‘lābhā vata me, parisuddhaṁ vata me’ti. Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno paccavekkhaṇā bahukārā1 hoti kusalesu dhammesu: ‘abhijjhālu nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, anabhijjhālu nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, byāpannacitto nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, abyāpannacitto nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, thinamiddhapariyuṭṭhito nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, vigatathinamiddho nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, uddhato nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, anuddhato nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, vicikiccho nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, tiṇṇavicikiccho nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, kodhano nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, akkodhano nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, saṅkiliṭṭhacitto nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, asaṅkiliṭṭhacitto nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, sāraddhakāyo nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, asāraddhakāyo nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, kusīto nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, āraddhavīriyo nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, asamāhito nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, samāhito nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmī’ti.
And how is a bhikkhu skilled in the ways of their own mind? Suppose there was a woman or man who was young, youthful, and fond of adornments, and they check their own reflection in a clean bright mirror or a clear bowl of water. If they see any dirt or blemish there, they’d try to remove it. But if they don’t see any dirt or blemish there, they’re happy with that, as they’ve got all they wished for: ‘How fortunate that I’m clean!’ In the same way, checking is very helpful for a bhikkhu’s skillful qualities. ‘Am I often covetous or not? Am I often malicious or not? Am I often overcome with dullness and drowsiness or not? Am I often restless or not? Am I often doubtful or not? Am I often irritable or not? Am I often corrupted in mind or not? Am I often disturbed in body or not? Am I often energetic or not? Am I often immersed in samādhi or not?’
सचे, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पच्चवेक्खमानो एवं जानाति: ‘अभिज्झालु बहुलं विहरामि, ब्यापन्नचित्तो बहुलं विहरामि, थिनमिद्धपरियुट्ठितो बहुलं विहरामि, उद्धतो बहुलं विहरामि, विचिकिच्छो बहुलं विहरामि, कोधनो बहुलं विहरामि, सङ्किलिट्ठचित्तो बहुलं विहरामि, सारद्धकायो बहुलं विहरामि, कुसीतो बहुलं विहरामि, असमाहितो बहुलं विहरामीऽति, तेन, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुना तेसंयेव पापकानं अकुसलानं धम्मानं पहानाय अधिमत्तो छन्दो च वायामो च उस्साहो च उस्सोळ्ही च अप्पटिवानी च सति च सम्पजञ्ञञ्च करणीयं। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, आदित्तचेलो वा आदित्तसीसो वा। तस्सेव चेलस्स वा सीसस्स वा निब्बापनाय अधिमत्तं छन्दञ्च वायामञ्च उस्साहञ्च उस्सोळ्हिञ्च अप्पटिवानिञ्च सतिञ्च सम्पजञ्ञञ्च करेय्य। एवमेवं खो तेन, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुना तेसंयेव पापकानं अकुसलानं धम्मानं पहानाय अधिमत्तो छन्दो च वायामो च उस्साहो च उस्सोळ्ही च अप्पटिवानी च सति च सम्पजञ्ञञ्च करणीयं।
Sace, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paccavekkhamāno evaṁ jānāti: ‘abhijjhālu bahulaṁ viharāmi, byāpannacitto bahulaṁ viharāmi, thinamiddhapariyuṭṭhito bahulaṁ viharāmi, uddhato bahulaṁ viharāmi, vicikiccho bahulaṁ viharāmi, kodhano bahulaṁ viharāmi, saṅkiliṭṭhacitto bahulaṁ viharāmi, sāraddhakāyo bahulaṁ viharāmi, kusīto bahulaṁ viharāmi, asamāhito bahulaṁ viharāmī’ti, tena, bhikkhave, bhikkhunā tesaṁyeva pāpakānaṁ akusalānaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya adhimatto chando ca vāyāmo ca ussāho ca ussoḷhī ca appaṭivānī ca sati ca sampajaññañca karaṇīyaṁ. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, ādittacelo vā ādittasīso vā. Tasseva celassa vā sīsassa vā nibbāpanāya adhimattaṁ chandañca vāyāmañca ussāhañca ussoḷhiñca appaṭivāniñca satiñca sampajaññañca kareyya. Evamevaṁ kho tena, bhikkhave, bhikkhunā tesaṁyeva pāpakānaṁ akusalānaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya adhimatto chando ca vāyāmo ca ussāho ca ussoḷhī ca appaṭivānī ca sati ca sampajaññañca karaṇīyaṁ.
Suppose that, upon checking, a bhikkhu knows this: ‘I am often covetous, malicious, overcome with dullness and drowsiness, restless, doubtful, irritable, defiled in mind, disturbed in body, lazy, and not immersed in samādhi.’ In order to give up those bad, unskillful qualities, they should apply intense enthusiasm, effort, zeal, vigor, perseverance, mindfulness, and situational awareness. Suppose your clothes or head were on fire. In order to extinguish it, you’d apply intense enthusiasm, effort, zeal, vigor, perseverance, mindfulness, and situational awareness. In the same way, in order to give up those bad, unskillful qualities, that bhikkhu should apply intense enthusiasm …
सचे पन, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पच्चवेक्खमानो एवं जानाति: ‘अनभिज्झालु बहुलं विहरामि, अब्यापन्नचित्तो बहुलं विहरामि, विगतथिनमिद्धो बहुलं विहरामि, अनुद्धतो बहुलं विहरामि, तिण्णविचिकिच्छो बहुलं विहरामि, अक्कोधनो बहुलं विहरामि, असङ्किलिट्ठचित्तो बहुलं विहरामि, असारद्धकायो बहुलं विहरामि, आरद्धवीरियो बहुलं विहरामि, समाहितो बहुलं विहरामीऽति, तेन, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुना तेसुयेव कुसलेसु धम्मेसु पतिट्ठाय उत्तरि आसवानं खयाय योगो करणीयो”ति।
Sace pana, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paccavekkhamāno evaṁ jānāti: ‘anabhijjhālu bahulaṁ viharāmi, abyāpannacitto bahulaṁ viharāmi, vigatathinamiddho bahulaṁ viharāmi, anuddhato bahulaṁ viharāmi, tiṇṇavicikiccho bahulaṁ viharāmi, akkodhano bahulaṁ viharāmi, asaṅkiliṭṭhacitto bahulaṁ viharāmi, asāraddhakāyo bahulaṁ viharāmi, āraddhavīriyo bahulaṁ viharāmi, samāhito bahulaṁ viharāmī’ti, tena, bhikkhave, bhikkhunā tesuyeva kusalesu dhammesu patiṭṭhāya uttari āsavānaṁ khayāya yogo karaṇīyo”ti.
But suppose that, upon checking, a bhikkhu knows this: ‘I am often content, kind-hearted, free of dullness and drowsiness, calm, confident, loving, pure in mind, undisturbed in body, energetic, and immersed in samādhi.’ Grounded on those skillful qualities, they should practice meditation further to end the defilements.”
