Sāriputtasutta
With Sāriputta
तत्र खो आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “आवुसो भिक्खवे”ति।
Tatra kho āyasmā sāriputto bhikkhū āmantesi: “āvuso bhikkhave”ti.
There Sāriputta addressed the bhikkhus: “Friends, bhikkhus!”
“आवुसो”ति खो ते भिक्खू आयस्मतो सारिपुत्तस्स पच्चस्सोसुं। आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो एतदवोच:
“Āvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū āyasmato sāriputtassa paccassosuṁ. Āyasmā sāriputto etadavoca:
“Friend,” they replied. Sāriputta said this:
“नो चे, आवुसो, भिक्खु परचित्तपरियायकुसलो होति, अथ ‘सचित्तपरियायकुसलो भविस्सामीऽति—एवञ्हि वो, आवुसो, सिक्खितब्बं।
“No ce, āvuso, bhikkhu paracittapariyāyakusalo hoti, atha ‘sacittapariyāyakusalo bhavissāmī’ti—evañhi vo, āvuso, sikkhitabbaṁ.
“Friends, 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.’
कथञ्चावुसो, भिक्खु सचित्तपरियायकुसलो होति? सेय्यथापि, आवुसो, इत्थी वा पुरिसो वा दहरो युवा मण्डनकजातिको आदासे वा परिसुद्धे परियोदाते अच्छे वा उदपत्ते 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।
Kathañcāvuso, bhikkhu sacittapariyāyakusalo hoti? Seyyathāpi, āvuso, itthī vā puriso vā daharo yuvā maṇḍanakajātiko ādāse vā parisuddhe pariyodāte acche vā udapatte 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.
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!’
एवमेवं खो, आवुसो, 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, समाहितो नु खो बहुलं विहरामि, असमाहितो नु खो बहुलं विहरामीऽति।
Evamevaṁ kho, āvuso, bhikkhuno paccavekkhaṇā bahukārā 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, samāhito nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmi, asamāhito nu kho bahulaṁ viharāmī’ti.
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 defiled 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, आवुसो, भिक्खु पच्चवेक्खमानो एवं जानाति: ‘अभिज्झालु बहुलं विहरामि …पे… असमाहितो बहुलं विहरामीऽति, तेनावुसो, भिक्खुना तेसंयेव पापकानं अकुसलानं धम्मानं पहानाय अधिमत्तो छन्दो च वायामो च उस्साहो च उस्सोळ्ही च अप्पटिवानी च सति च सम्पजञ्ञञ्च करणीयं। सेय्यथापि, आवुसो, आदित्तचेलो वा आदित्तसीसो वा। तस्सेव चेलस्स वा सीसस्स वा निब्बापनाय अधिमत्तं छन्दञ्च वायामञ्च उस्साहञ्च उस्सोळ्हिञ्च अप्पटिवानिञ्च सतिञ्च सम्पजञ्ञञ्च करेय्य। एवमेवं खो, आवुसो, तेन भिक्खुना तेसंयेव पापकानं अकुसलानं धम्मानं पहानाय अधिमत्तो छन्दो च वायामो च उस्साहो च उस्सोळ्ही च अप्पटिवानी च सति च सम्पजञ्ञञ्च करणीयं।
Sace, āvuso, bhikkhu paccavekkhamāno evaṁ jānāti: ‘abhijjhālu bahulaṁ viharāmi …pe… asamāhito bahulaṁ viharāmī’ti, tenāvuso, bhikkhunā tesaṁyeva pāpakānaṁ akusalānaṁ dhammānaṁ pahānāya adhimatto chando ca vāyāmo ca ussāho ca ussoḷhī ca appaṭivānī ca sati ca sampajaññañca karaṇīyaṁ. Seyyathāpi, āvuso, ādittacelo vā ādittasīso vā. Tasseva celassa vā sīsassa vā nibbāpanāya adhimattaṁ chandañca vāyāmañca ussāhañca ussoḷhiñca appaṭivāniñca satiñca sampajaññañca kareyya. Evamevaṁ kho, āvuso, tena 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, angry, 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 पनावुसो, भिक्खु पच्चवेक्खमानो एवं जानाति: ‘अनभिज्झालु बहुलं विहरामि …पे… समाहितो बहुलं विहरामीऽति, तेनावुसो, भिक्खुना तेसुयेव कुसलेसु धम्मेसु पतिट्ठाय उत्तरि आसवानं खयाय योगो करणीयो”ति।
Sace panāvuso, bhikkhu paccavekkhamāno evaṁ jānāti: ‘anabhijjhālu bahulaṁ viharāmi …pe… samāhito bahulaṁ viharāmī’ti, tenāvuso, 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, rid 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.”
