- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1"Friend Sāriputta, it is said, ‘flood, flood.’ What now is a flood?"
"There are, friend, these four floods: the flood of sensuality, the flood of existence, the flood of views, the flood of ignorance. These are the four floods."
"But, friend, is there a path, is there a way for the abandonment of these four floods?"
"There is a path, friend, there is a way … this Noble Eightfold Path … ." sn.iv.258
1"‘Ogho, ogho’ti, āvuso sāriputta, vuccati. Katamo nu kho, āvuso, ogho"ti?
"Cattārome, āvuso, oghā. Kāmogho, bhavogho, diṭṭhogho, avijjogho – ime kho, āvuso, cattāro oghā"ti.
"Atthi panāvuso, maggo atthi paṭipadā, etesaṁ oghānaṁ pahānāyā"ti?
"Atthi kho, āvuso, maggo atthi paṭipadā, etesaṁ oghānaṁ pahānāyā"ti. "Katamo panāvuso, maggo katamā paṭipadā, etesaṁ oghānaṁ pahānāyā"ti? "Ayameva kho, āvuso, ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, etesaṁ oghānaṁ pahānāya, seyyathidaṁ – sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi. Ayaṁ kho, āvuso, maggo ayaṁ paṭipadā, etesaṁ oghānaṁ pahānāyā"ti. "Bhaddako, āvuso, maggo bhaddikā paṭipadā, etesaṁ oghānaṁ pahānāya. Alañca panāvuso sāriputta, appamādāyā"ti.
Ekādasamaṁ.
