Opportunities for Freedom
“पञ्चिमानि, भिक्खवे, विमुत्तायतनानि यत्थ भिक्खुनो अप्पमत्तस्स आतापिनो पहितत्तस्स विहरतो अविमुत्तं वा चित्तं विमुच्चति, अपरिक्खीणा वा आसवा परिक्खयं गच्छन्ति, अननुप्पत्तं वा अनुत्तरं योगक्खेमं अनुपापुणाति। कतमानि पञ्च?

“Bhikkhus, there are these five opportunities for freedom. If a bhikkhu stays diligent, keen, and resolute at these times, their mind is freed, their defilements are ended, and they arrive at the supreme sanctuary from the yoke. What five?
इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो सत्था धम्मं देसेति अञ्ञतरो वा गरुट्ठानियो सब्रह्मचारी। यथा यथा, भिक्खवे, तस्स भिक्खुनो सत्था धम्मं देसेति, अञ्ञतरो वा गरुट्ठानियो सब्रह्मचारी तथा तथा सो तस्मिं धम्मे अत्थपटिसंवेदी च होति धम्मपटिसंवेदी च। तस्स अत्थपटिसंवेदिनो धम्मपटिसंवेदिनो पामोज्जं जायति। पमुदितस्स पीति जायति। पीतिमनस्स कायो पस्सम्भति। पस्सद्धकायो सुखं वेदेति। सुखिनो चित्तं समाधियति। इदं, भिक्खवे, पठमं विमुत्तायतनं यत्थ भिक्खुनो अप्पमत्तस्स आतापिनो पहितत्तस्स विहरतो अविमुत्तं वा चित्तं विमुच्चति, अपरिक्खीणा वा आसवा परिक्खयं गच्छन्ति, अननुप्पत्तं वा अनुत्तरं योगक्खेमं अनुपापुणाति।
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno satthā dhammaṁ deseti aññataro vā garuṭṭhāniyo sabrahmacārī. Yathā yathā, bhikkhave, tassa bhikkhuno satthā dhammaṁ deseti, aññataro vā garuṭṭhāniyo sabrahmacārī tathā tathā so tasmiṁ dhamme atthapaṭisaṁvedī ca hoti dhammapaṭisaṁvedī ca. Tassa atthapaṭisaṁvedino dhammapaṭisaṁvedino pāmojjaṁ1 jāyati. Pamuditassa pīti jāyati. Pītimanassa kāyo passambhati. Passaddhakāyo sukhaṁ vedeti. Sukhino cittaṁ samādhiyati. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, paṭhamaṁ vimuttāyatanaṁ yattha bhikkhuno appamattassa ātāpino pahitattassa viharato avimuttaṁ vā cittaṁ vimuccati, aparikkhīṇā vā āsavā parikkhayaṁ gacchanti, ananuppattaṁ vā anuttaraṁ yogakkhemaṁ anupāpuṇāti.
Firstly, the Teacher or a respected spiritual companion teaches Dhamma to a bhikkhu. That bhikkhu feels inspired by the meaning and the teaching in that Dhamma, no matter how the Teacher or a respected spiritual companion teaches it. Feeling inspired, joy springs up. Being joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, one feels bliss. And when blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samādhi. This is the first opportunity for freedom. If a bhikkhu stays diligent, keen, and resolute at this time, their mind is freed, their defilements are ended, and they arrive at the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो न हेव खो सत्था धम्मं देसेति, अञ्ञतरो वा गरुट्ठानियो सब्रह्मचारी, अपि च खो यथासुतं यथापरियत्तं धम्मं वित्थारेन परेसं देसेति। यथा यथा, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु यथासुतं यथापरियत्तं धम्मं वित्थारेन परेसं देसेति तथा तथा सो तस्मिं धम्मे अत्थपटिसंवेदी च होति धम्मपटिसंवेदी च। तस्स अत्थपटिसंवेदिनो धम्मपटिसंवेदिनो पामोज्जं जायति। पमुदितस्स पीति जायति। पीतिमनस्स कायो पस्सम्भति। पस्सद्धकायो सुखं वेदेति। सुखिनो चित्तं समाधियति। इदं, भिक्खवे, दुतियं विमुत्तायतनं यत्थ भिक्खुनो अप्पमत्तस्स आतापिनो पहितत्तस्स विहरतो अविमुत्तं वा चित्तं विमुच्चति, अपरिक्खीणा वा आसवा परिक्खयं गच्छन्ति, अननुप्पत्तं वा अनुत्तरं योगक्खेमं अनुपापुणाति।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno na heva kho satthā dhammaṁ deseti, aññataro vā garuṭṭhāniyo sabrahmacārī, api ca kho yathāsutaṁ yathāpariyattaṁ dhammaṁ vitthārena paresaṁ deseti. Yathā yathā, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yathāsutaṁ yathāpariyattaṁ dhammaṁ vitthārena paresaṁ deseti tathā tathā so tasmiṁ dhamme atthapaṭisaṁvedī ca hoti dhammapaṭisaṁvedī ca.

Furthermore, it may be that neither the Teacher nor a respected spiritual companion teaches Dhamma to a bhikkhu. But the bhikkhu teaches Dhamma in detail to others as they learned and memorized it. That bhikkhu feels inspired by the meaning and the teaching in that Dhamma, no matter how they teach it in detail to others as they learned and memorized it. Feeling inspired, joy springs up. Being joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, one feels bliss. And when blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samādhi. This is the second opportunity for freedom. …

Furthermore, it may be that neither the Teacher nor … the bhikkhu teaches Dhamma. But the bhikkhu recites the teaching in detail as they learned and memorized it. That bhikkhu feels inspired by the meaning and the teaching in that Dhamma, no matter how they recite it in detail as they learned and memorized it. Feeling inspired, joy springs up. Being joyful, rapture springs up. When the mind is full of rapture, the body becomes tranquil. When the body is tranquil, one feels bliss. And when blissful, the mind becomes immersed in samādhi. This is the third opportunity for freedom. …

Furthermore, it may be that neither the Teacher nor … the bhikkhu teaches Dhamma … nor does the bhikkhu recite the teaching.

Furthermore, it may be that neither the Teacher nor … the bhikkhu teaches Dhamma … nor does the bhikkhu recite the teaching … or think about it. But a meditation subject as a foundation of immersion is properly grasped, focused on, borne in mind, and comprehended with wisdom. That bhikkhu feels inspired by the meaning and the teaching in that Dhamma, no matter how a meditation subject as a foundation of immersion is properly grasped, focused on, borne in mind, and comprehended with wisdom.
