SN52:22 Past Abodes
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1… "Further, friends, it is because I have developed and cultivated these four establishments of mindfulness that I recollect my manifold past abodes, that is, one birth, two births … many aeons of world-contraction and expansion … . Thus I recollect my manifold past abodes with their modes and details."
1"Imesañca panāhaṁ, āvuso, catunnaṁ satipaṭṭhānānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā anekavihitaṁ pubbenivāsaṁ anussarāmi, seyyathidaṁ – ekampi jātiṁ dvepi jātiyo … pe … iti sākāraṁ sauddesaṁ anekavihitaṁ pubbenivāsaṁ anussarāmī"ti.
Dvādasamaṁ.
