सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“संयोजनियेसु, भिक्खवे, धम्मेसु अस्सादानुपस्सिनो विहरतो तण्हा पवड्ढति। तण्हापच्चया उपादानं …पे… एवमेतस्स केवलस्स दुक्खक्खन्धस्स समुदयो होति।
“Saṁyojaniyesu, bhikkhave, dhammesu assādānupassino viharato taṇhā pavaḍḍhati. Taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṁ …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.
“There are things that are prone to being fettered. When you concentrate on the gratification provided by these things, your craving grows. Craving is a condition for grasping. … That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, तरुणो रुक्खो। तस्स पुरिसो कालेन कालं मूलानि पलिमज्जेय्य कालेन कालं पंसुं ददेय्य, कालेन कालं उदकं ददेय्य। एवञ्हि सो, भिक्खवे, तरुणो रुक्खो तदाहारो तदुपादानो वुद्धिं विरूळ्हिं वेपुल्लं आपज्जेय्य।
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, taruṇo rukkho. Tassa puriso kālena kālaṁ mūlāni palimajjeyya1 kālena kālaṁ paṁsuṁ dadeyya, kālena kālaṁ udakaṁ dadeyya. Evañhi so, bhikkhave, taruṇo rukkho tadāhāro tadupādāno vuddhiṁ virūḷhiṁ vepullaṁ āpajjeyya.
Suppose there was a sapling. And from time to time someone would clear around the roots, supply soil, and water it. Fueled and sustained in this way the sapling would grow, increase, and mature.
एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, संयोजनियेसु धम्मेसु अस्सादानुपस्सिनो विहरतो तण्हा पवड्ढति। तण्हापच्चया उपादानं …पे… एवमेतस्स केवलस्स दुक्खक्खन्धस्स समुदयो होति।
Evameva kho, bhikkhave, saṁyojaniyesu dhammesu assādānupassino viharato taṇhā pavaḍḍhati. Taṇhāpaccayā upādānaṁ …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa samudayo hoti.
In the same way, there are things that are prone to being fettered. When you concentrate on the gratification provided by these things, your craving grows. Craving is a condition for grasping. … That is how this entire mass of suffering originates.
संयोजनियेसु, भिक्खवे, धम्मेसु आदीनवानुपस्सिनो विहरतो तण्हा निरुज्झति। तण्हानिरोधा उपादाननिरोधो …पे… एवमेतस्स केवलस्स दुक्खक्खन्धस्स निरोधो होति।
Saṁyojaniyesu, bhikkhave, dhammesu ādīnavānupassino viharato taṇhā nirujjhati. Taṇhānirodhā upādānanirodho …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hoti.
There are things that are prone to being fettered. When you concentrate on the drawbacks of these things, your craving ceases. When craving ceases, grasping ceases. … That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, तरुणो रुक्खो। अथ पुरिसो आगच्छेय्य कुद्दालपिटकं आदाय …पे… नदिया वा सीघसोताय पवाहेय्य। एवञ्हि सो, भिक्खवे, तरुणो रुक्खो उच्छिन्नमूलो अस्स तालावत्थुकतो अनभावङ्कतो आयतिं अनुप्पादधम्मो।
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, taruṇo rukkho. Atha puriso āgaccheyya kuddālapiṭakaṁ ādāya …pe… nadiyā vā sīghasotāya pavāheyya. Evañhi so, bhikkhave, taruṇo rukkho ucchinnamūlo assa tālāvatthukato anabhāvaṅkato āyatiṁ anuppādadhammo.
Suppose there was a sapling. Then a person comes along with a spade and basket. … They’d cut the sapling apart, cut up the parts, and chop it into splinters. They’d dry the splinters in the wind and sun, burn them with fire, and reduce them to ashes. Then they’d winnow the ashes in a strong wind, or float them away down a swift stream. In this way the sapling is cut off at the root, made like a palm stump, obliterated, and unable to arise in the future.
एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, संयोजनियेसु धम्मेसु आदीनवानुपस्सिनो विहरतो तण्हा निरुज्झति। तण्हानिरोधा उपादाननिरोधो …पे… एवमेतस्स केवलस्स दुक्खक्खन्धस्स निरोधो होती”ति।
Evameva kho, bhikkhave, saṁyojaniyesu dhammesu ādīnavānupassino viharato taṇhā nirujjhati. Taṇhānirodhā upādānanirodho …pe… evametassa kevalassa dukkhakkhandhassa nirodho hotī”ti.
In the same way, there are things that are prone to being fettered. When you concentrate on the drawbacks of these things, your craving ceases. When craving ceases, grasping ceases. … That is how this entire mass of suffering ceases.”
