10: The Book of the Tens
59. Going Forth
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1"Therefore, bhikkhus, you should train yourselves thus: ‘Our minds will be strengthened in accordance with the spirit of our going forth, and arisen bad unwholesome qualities will not obsess our minds. [n.2070] Na c’uppannā pāpakā akusalā dhammā cittaṁ pariyādāya ṭhassanti. As phrased, the text seems to be saying that such bad unwholesome qualities do arise but do not gain control over the bhikkhu's mind. However, it is possible the intent of the statement is that such bad unwholesome qualities do not arise and gain control over his mind. (1) Our minds will be strengthened in the perception of impermanence. (2) Our minds will be strengthened in the perception of non-self. (3) Our minds will be strengthened in the perception of unattractiveness. (4) Our minds will be strengthened in the perception of danger. (5) We will know the even and uneven ways of the world, [n.2071] Lokassa samañca visamañca. Mp: "Good conduct and misconduct in the world of beings" (sattalokassa sucaritaduccaritāni). and our minds will be strengthened in this perception. (6) We will know the coming into being and extermination of the world, [n.2072] Lokassa bhavañca vibhavañca. Mp glosses as "its growth and destruction, also success and failure." and our minds will be strengthened in this perception. (7) We will know the origination and passing away of the world, and our minds will be strengthened in this perception. (8) Our minds will be strengthened in the perception of abandoning. (9) Our minds will be strengthened in the perception of dispassion. (10) Our minds will be strengthened in the perception of cessation.’ [n.2073] Perceptions §§8–10 will be explained just below in AN10.60. It is in such a way that you should you train yourselves.
2"When a bhikkhu's mind has been strengthened in accordance with the spirit of his going forth, and arisen bad unwholesome qualities do not obsess his mind—when his mind has been strengthened in the perception of impermanence … when his mind has been strengthened in the perception of cessation—one of two fruits is to be expected for him: either final knowledge in this very life or, if there is a residue remaining, the state of non-returning."
1"Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ: ‘yathāpabbajjāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, na cuppannā pāpakā akusalā dhammā cittaṁ pariyādāya ṭhassanti; aniccasaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, anattasaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, asubhasaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, ādīnavasaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, lokassa samañca visamañca ñatvā taṁsaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, lokassa bhavañca vibhavañca ñatvā taṁsaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, lokassa samudayañca atthaṅgamañca ñatvā taṁsaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, pahānasaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, virāgasaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissati, nirodhasaññāparicitañca no cittaṁ bhavissatī’ti – evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabbaṁ.
2Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno yathāpabbajjāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti na cuppannā pāpakā akusalā dhammā cittaṁ pariyādāya tiṭṭhanti, aniccasaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, anattasaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, asubhasaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, ādīnavasaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, lokassa samañca visamañca ñatvā taṁsaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, lokassa bhavañca vibhavañca ñatvā taṁsaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, lokassa samudayañca atthaṅgamañca ñatvā taṁsaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, pahānasaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, virāgasaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, nirodhasaññāparicitañca cittaṁ hoti, tassa dvinnaṁ phalānaṁ aññataraṁ phalaṁ pāṭikaṅkhaṁ – diṭṭheva dhamme aññā, sati vā upādisese anāgāmitā"ti.
Navamaṁ.
