अथ खो आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नं खो आयस्मन्तं सारिपुत्तं भगवा एतदवोच: “सङ्खित्तेनपि खो अहं, सारिपुत्त, धम्मं देसेय्यं; वित्थारेनपि खो अहं, सारिपुत्त, धम्मं देसेय्यं; सङ्खित्तवित्थारेनपि खो अहं, सारिपुत्त, धम्मं देसेय्यं; अञ्ञातारो च दुल्लभा”ति।
Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ bhagavā etadavoca: “saṅkhittenapi kho ahaṁ, sāriputta, dhammaṁ deseyyaṁ; vitthārenapi kho ahaṁ, sāriputta, dhammaṁ deseyyaṁ; saṅkhittavitthārenapi kho ahaṁ, sāriputta, dhammaṁ deseyyaṁ; aññātāro ca dullabhā”ti.
Then Venerable Sāriputta went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him, “Maybe I’ll teach Dhamma in brief, maybe in detail, maybe both in brief and in detail. But it’s hard to find anyone who understands.”
“एतस्स, भगवा, कालो, एतस्स, सुगत, कालो यं भगवा सङ्खित्तेनपि धम्मं देसेय्य, वित्थारेनपि धम्मं देसेय्य, सङ्खित्तवित्थारेनपि धम्मं देसेय्य। भविस्सन्ति धम्मस्स अञ्ञातारो”ति।
“Etassa, bhagavā, kālo, etassa, sugata, kālo yaṁ bhagavā saṅkhittenapi dhammaṁ deseyya, vitthārenapi dhammaṁ deseyya, saṅkhittavitthārenapi dhammaṁ deseyya. Bhavissanti dhammassa aññātāro”ti.
“Now is the time, Blessed One! Now is the time, Holy One! Let the Buddha teach Dhamma in brief, in detail, and both in brief and in detail. There will be those who understand the teaching!”
“तस्मातिह, सारिपुत्त, एवं सिक्खितब्बं: ‘इमस्मिञ्च सविञ्ञाणके काये अहङ्कारममङ्कारमानानुसया न भविस्सन्ति, बहिद्धा च सब्बनिमित्तेसु अहङ्कारममङ्कारमानानुसया न भविस्सन्ति, यञ्च चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं उपसम्पज्ज विहरतो अहङ्कारममङ्कारमानानुसया न होन्ति तञ्च चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं उपसम्पज्ज विहरिस्सामाऽति। एवञ्हि खो, सारिपुत्त, सिक्खितब्बं।
“Tasmātiha, sāriputta, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ: ‘imasmiñca saviññāṇake kāye ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na bhavissanti, bahiddhā ca sabbanimittesu ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na bhavissanti, yañca cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ upasampajja viharato ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na honti tañca cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ upasampajja viharissāmā’ti. Evañhi kho, sāriputta, sikkhitabbaṁ.
“So, Sāriputta, you should train like this: ‘There’ll be no ego, possessiveness, or underlying tendency to conceit for this conscious body; and no ego, possessiveness, or underlying tendency to conceit for all external stimuli; and we’ll live having achieved the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where ego, possessiveness, and underlying tendency to conceit are no more.’ That’s how you should train.
यतो च खो, सारिपुत्त, भिक्खुनो इमस्मिञ्च सविञ्ञाणके काये अहङ्कारममङ्कारमानानुसया न होन्ति, बहिद्धा च सब्बनिमित्तेसु अहङ्कारममङ्कारमानानुसया न होन्ति, यञ्च चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं उपसम्पज्ज विहरतो अहङ्कारममङ्कारमानानुसया न होन्ति तञ्च चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं उपसम्पज्ज विहरति; अयं वुच्चति, सारिपुत्त: ‘भिक्खु अच्छेच्छि तण्हं, विवत्तयि संयोजनं, सम्मा मानाभिसमया अन्तमकासि दुक्खस्सऽ।
Yato ca kho, sāriputta, bhikkhuno imasmiñca saviññāṇake kāye ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na honti, bahiddhā ca sabbanimittesu ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na honti, yañca cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ upasampajja viharato ahaṅkāramamaṅkāramānānusayā na honti tañca cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ upasampajja viharati; ayaṁ vuccati, sāriputta: ‘bhikkhu acchecchi1 taṇhaṁ, vivattayi saṁyojanaṁ, sammā mānābhisamayā antamakāsi dukkhassa’.
When a bhikkhu has no ego, possessiveness, or underlying tendency to conceit for this conscious body; and no ego, possessiveness, or underlying tendency to conceit for all external stimuli; and they live having attained the freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom where ego, possessiveness, and underlying tendency to conceit are no more—they’re called a bhikkhu who has cut off craving, untied the fetters, and by rightly comprehending conceit has made an end of suffering.
इदञ्च पन मेतं, सारिपुत्त, सन्धाय भासितं पारायने उदयपञ्हे:
Idañca pana metaṁ, sāriputta, sandhāya bhāsitaṁ pārāyane2 udayapañhe:
And Sāriputta, this is what I was referring to in ‘The Way to the Far Shore’, in ‘The Questions of Udaya’ when I said:
‘पहानं कामसञ्ञानं, दोमनस्सान चूभयं; थिनस्स च पनूदनं, कुक्कुच्चानं निवारणं।
‘Pahānaṁ kāmasaññānaṁ, domanassāna cūbhayaṁ; Thinassa ca panūdanaṁ, kukkuccānaṁ nivāraṇaṁ.
‘The giving up of sensual desires and aversions, both; the dispelling of dullness, and the prevention of remorse.
उपेक्खासतिसंसुद्धं, धम्मतक्कपुरेजवं; अञ्ञाविमोक्खं पब्रूमि, अविज्जाय पभेदनन्ऽ”ति।
Upekkhāsatisaṁsuddhaṁ, dhammatakkapurejavaṁ; Aññāvimokkhaṁ pabrūmi, avijjāya pabhedanan’”ti.
Pure equanimity and mindfulness, preceded by investigation of principles—this, I declare, is liberation by enlightenment, the smashing of ignorance.’”
ततियं।
Tatiyaṁ.
