10: The Book of the Tens
146–154. The Dark Path, Etc.
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
(146) "Bhikkhus, I will teach you the dark path and the bright path [n.2161] I follow Be, which is consistent in putting the dark path before the bright path here and in AN10.190. Ce and Ee put the bright path first here, but invert the sequence at AN10.190. My title conforms to Be, whereas Ce has "The Bright Path" here but titles AN10.190 "The Dark Path." … … (147) … the good Dhamma and the bad Dhamma … (148) … the Dhamma of a good person and that of a bad person … (149) … the Dhamma to be aroused and the one not to be aroused … … (150) … the Dhamma to be pursued and the one not to be pursued … (151) … the Dhamma to be developed and the one not to be developed … (152) … the Dhamma to be cultivated and the one not to be cultivated … (153) … the Dhamma to be recollected and the one not to be recollected … (154) … the Dhamma to be realized and the one not to be realized ….
"And what, bhikkhus, is the Dhamma not to be realized? Wrong view … and wrong liberation. This is called the Dhamma not to be realized.
"And what, bhikkhus, is the Dhamma to be realized? Right view … and right liberation. This is called the Dhamma to be realized."
"Kaṇhamaggañca vo, bhikkhave, dhammaṁ desessāmi sukkamaggañca. Taṁ suṇātha … pe … katamo ca, bhikkhave, kaṇhamaggo? Micchādiṭṭhi … pe … micchāvimutti – ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, kaṇhamaggo. Katamo ca, bhikkhave, sukkamaggo? Sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāvimutti – ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, sukkamaggo"ti.
Dutiyaṁ.
