“मा, भिक्खवे, अनेकविहितं तिरच्छानकथं कथेय्याथ, सेय्यथिदं—राजकथं चोरकथं महामत्तकथं सेनाकथं, भयकथं युद्धकथं, अन्नकथं पानकथं वत्थकथं सयनकथं मालाकथं गन्धकथं, ञातिकथं यानकथं गामकथं निगमकथं नगरकथं जनपदकथं इत्थिकथं सूरकथं विसिखाकथं कुम्भट्ठानकथं, पुब्बपेतकथं नानत्तकथं, लोकक्खायिकं समुद्दक्खायिकं इतिभवाभवकथं इति वा। तं किस्स हेतु? नेसा, भिक्खवे, कथा अत्थसंहिता नादिब्रह्मचरियका न निब्बिदाय न विरागाय न निरोधाय न उपसमाय न अभिञ्ञाय न सम्बोधाय न निब्बानाय संवत्तति।
“Mā, bhikkhave, anekavihitaṁ tiracchānakathaṁ katheyyātha, seyyathidaṁ—rājakathaṁ corakathaṁ mahāmattakathaṁ senākathaṁ, bhayakathaṁ yuddhakathaṁ, annakathaṁ pānakathaṁ vatthakathaṁ sayanakathaṁ mālākathaṁ gandhakathaṁ, ñātikathaṁ yānakathaṁ gāmakathaṁ nigamakathaṁ nagarakathaṁ janapadakathaṁ itthikathaṁ1 sūrakathaṁ visikhākathaṁ kumbhaṭṭhānakathaṁ, pubbapetakathaṁ nānattakathaṁ, lokakkhāyikaṁ samuddakkhāyikaṁ itibhavābhavakathaṁ iti vā. Taṁ kissa hetu? Nesā, bhikkhave, kathā atthasaṁhitā nādibrahmacariyakā na nibbidāya na virāgāya na nirodhāya na upasamāya na abhiññāya na sambodhāya na nibbānāya saṁvattati.
“Bhikkhus, don’t engage in all kinds of low talk, such as talk about kings, bandits, and ministers; talk about armies, threats, and wars; talk about food, drink, clothes, and beds; talk about garlands and fragrances; talk about family, vehicles, villages, towns, cities, and countries; talk about women and heroes; street talk and talk at the well; talk about the departed; motley talk; tales of land and sea; and talk about being reborn in this or that state of existence. Why is that? Because those discussions aren’t beneficial or relevant to the fundamentals of the spiritual life. They don’t lead to disillusionment, dispassion, cessation, peace, insight, awakening, and Nibbana.
कथेन्ता च खो तुम्हे, भिक्खवे, ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति कथेय्याथ, ‘अयं दुक्खसमुदयोऽति कथेय्याथ, ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधोऽति कथेय्याथ, ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति कथेय्याथ। तं किस्स हेतु? एसा, भिक्खवे, कथा अत्थसंहिता, एसा आदिब्रह्मचरियका, एसा निब्बिदाय विरागाय निरोधाय उपसमाय अभिञ्ञाय सम्बोधाय निब्बानाय संवत्तति।
Kathentā ca kho tumhe, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti katheyyātha, ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti katheyyātha, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti katheyyātha, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti katheyyātha. Taṁ kissa hetu? Esā, bhikkhave, kathā atthasaṁhitā, esā ādibrahmacariyakā, esā nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṁvattati.
When you discuss, you should discuss: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’. …
तस्मातिह, भिक्खवे, ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति योगो करणीयो …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति योगो करणीयो”ति।
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.
That’s why you should practice meditation …”
