अथ खो आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā sāriputto bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Then Sāriputta went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“सकलमिदं, भन्ते, ब्रह्मचरियं, यदिदं—कल्याणमित्तता कल्याणसहायता कल्याणसम्पवङ्कता”ति।
“sakalamidaṁ, bhante, brahmacariyaṁ, yadidaṁ—kalyāṇamittatā kalyāṇasahāyatā kalyāṇasampavaṅkatā”ti.
“Sir, good friends, companions, and associates are the whole of the spiritual life.”
“साधु साधु, सारिपुत्त। सकलमिदं, सारिपुत्त, ब्रह्मचरियं, यदिदं—कल्याणमित्तता कल्याणसहायता कल्याणसम्पवङ्कता। कल्याणमित्तस्सेतं, सारिपुत्त, भिक्खुनो पाटिकङ्खं कल्याणसहायस्स कल्याणसम्पवङ्कस्स—अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेस्सति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरिस्सति। कथञ्च, सारिपुत्त, भिक्खु कल्याणमित्तो कल्याणसहायो कल्याणसम्पवङ्को अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोति?
“Sādhu sādhu, sāriputta. Sakalamidaṁ, sāriputta, brahmacariyaṁ, yadidaṁ—kalyāṇamittatā kalyāṇasahāyatā kalyāṇasampavaṅkatā. Kalyāṇamittassetaṁ, sāriputta, bhikkhuno pāṭikaṅkhaṁ kalyāṇasahāyassa kalyāṇasampavaṅkassa—ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāvessati, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkarissati. Kathañca, sāriputta, bhikkhu kalyāṇamitto kalyāṇasahāyo kalyāṇasampavaṅko ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāveti, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaroti?
“Good, good, Sāriputta! Good friends, companions, and associates are the whole of the spiritual life. A bhikkhu with good friends, companions, and associates can expect to develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path. And how does a bhikkhu with good friends develop and cultivate the noble eightfold path?
इध, सारिपुत्त, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोस्सग्गपरिणामिं …पे… सम्मासमाधिं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोस्सग्गपरिणामिं। एवं खो, सारिपुत्त, भिक्खु कल्याणमित्तो कल्याणसहायो कल्याणसम्पवङ्को अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं भावेति, अरियं अट्ठङ्गिकं मग्गं बहुलीकरोति।
Idha, sāriputta, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ …pe… sammāsamādhiṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vossaggapariṇāmiṁ. Evaṁ kho, sāriputta, bhikkhu kalyāṇamitto kalyāṇasahāyo kalyāṇasampavaṅko ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bhāveti, ariyaṁ aṭṭhaṅgikaṁ maggaṁ bahulīkaroti.
It’s when a bhikkhu develops right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go. That’s how a bhikkhu with good friends develops and cultivates the noble eightfold path.
तदमिनापेतं, सारिपुत्त, परियायेन वेदितब्बं यथा सकलमिदं ब्रह्मचरियं, यदिदं—कल्याणमित्तता कल्याणसहायता कल्याणसम्पवङ्कता। ममञ्हि, सारिपुत्त, कल्याणमित्तं आगम्म जातिधम्मा सत्ता जातिया परिमुच्चन्ति; जराधम्मा सत्ता जराय परिमुच्चन्ति; मरणधम्मा सत्ता मरणेन परिमुच्चन्ति; सोकपरिदेवदुक्खदोमनस्सुपायासधम्मा सत्ता सोकपरिदेवदुक्खदोमनस्सुपायासेहि परिमुच्चन्ति। इमिना खो एतं, सारिपुत्त, परियायेन वेदितब्बं यथा सकलमिदं ब्रह्मचरियं, यदिदं—कल्याणमित्तता कल्याणसहायता कल्याणसम्पवङ्कता”ति।
Tadamināpetaṁ, sāriputta, pariyāyena veditabbaṁ yathā sakalamidaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, yadidaṁ—kalyāṇamittatā kalyāṇasahāyatā kalyāṇasampavaṅkatā. Mamañhi, sāriputta, kalyāṇamittaṁ āgamma jātidhammā sattā jātiyā parimuccanti; jarādhammā sattā jarāya parimuccanti; maraṇadhammā sattā maraṇena parimuccanti; sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsadhammā sattā sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsehi parimuccanti. Iminā kho etaṁ, sāriputta, pariyāyena veditabbaṁ yathā sakalamidaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, yadidaṁ—kalyāṇamittatā kalyāṇasahāyatā kalyāṇasampavaṅkatā”ti.
And here’s another way to understand how good friends are the whole of the spiritual life. For, by relying on me as a good friend, sentient beings who are liable to rebirth, old age, and death, to sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress are freed from all these things. This is another way to understand how good friends are the whole of the spiritual life.”
