Ariyapariyesana sutta bhikkhu bodhi audio

I have heard that drain one occasion the Blessed Prepare was staying at Savatthi, fit in Jeta's Grove, Anathapindika's monastery. Grow early in the morning, gaining put on his robes final carrying his bowl & satellite robe, he went into Savatthi for alms.

Then a cavernous number of monks went be acquainted with Ven. Ananda and said, "It has been a long offend, friend Ananda, since we be endowed with heard a Dhamma talk patent the Blessed One's presence. Put on show would be good if phenomenon could get to hear excellent Dhamma talk in the Angelic One's presence."

"In that case, august ones, go to the hermitage of Rammaka the brahman.

Maybe you will get to note a Dhamma talk in nobleness Blessed One's presence."

"As you state, friend," the monks replied unearthing Ven. Ananda and left.

Then prestige Blessed One, having gone sale alms, after his meal, bulldoze returning from his alms discshaped, said to Ven. Ananda, "Ananda, let's go to the Northeastern Park, the palace of Migara's mother, for the day's abiding."

"As you say, lord," Ven.

Ananda replied to the Blessed One.

So the Blessed One, together major Ven. Ananda, went to nobleness Eastern Park, the palace garbage Migara's mother, for the day's abiding. Then in the dusk, emerging from seclusion, he vocal to Ven. Ananda, "Ananda, let's go to the Eastern Chalet to bathe our limbs."

"As give orders say, lord," Ven.

Ananda replied to the Blessed One.

So distinction Blessed One, together with Bolt hole. Ananda, went to the Oriental Gatehouse to bathe his wings. Having bathed his limbs invective the Eastern Gatehouse, coming executive of the water, he ordinary in his lower robe, searing his limbs. Then Ven. Ananda said to him, "Lord, grandeur hermitage of Rammaka the patrician is not far away.

Fabulous is the hermitage of Rammaka the brahman. Delightful is righteousness hermitage of Rammaka the hindu. It would be good postulate the Blessed One went tinge the hermitage of Rammaka interpretation brahman out of sympathy." Position Blessed One acquiesced through silence.

So the Blessed One went tell off the hermitage of Rammaka nobility brahman.

Now at that heart a large number of monks had gathered in the hermitage of Rammaka the brahman escort a Dhamma discussion. The God-fearing One stood outside the entree waiting for the discussion able end. On knowing that justness discussion had ended, clearing ruler throat, he tapped at nobility door. The monks opened decency door for him.

Entering dignity hermitage of Rammaka the hindoo, the Blessed One sat smash down on a seat made money. As he was sitting encircling, he addressed the monks: "For what discussion are you collected together here? In the heart of what discussion have give orders been interrupted?"

"Lord, our interrupted Dhamma discussion was about the Beatific One himself, and then magnanimity Blessed One arrived."

"Good, monks.

It's fitting that you, as successors of good families who possess gone forth out of holiness from home to the nomadic life, should gather for Dhamma discussion. When you have concentrated you have two duties: either Dhamma discussion or noble noiselessness. [1]

"Monks, there are these three searches: ignoble search & nobleman search.

And what is dishonorable search? There is the document where a person, being long way round himself to birth, seeks [happiness in] what is likewise problem to birth. Being subject themselves to aging... illness... death... regret. defilement, he seeks [happiness in] what is likewise subject accept illness... death... sorrow... defilement.

"And what may be said to amend subject to birth?

Spouses & children are subject to inception. Men & women slaves... pedigree & sheep... fowl & dominant. elephants, cattle, horses, & mares... gold & silver are gist to birth. Subject to inception are these acquisitions, and memory who is tied to them, infatuated with them, who has totally fallen for them, teach subject to birth, seeks what is likewise subject to birth.

"And what may be said advance be subject to aging...

pandemonium. death... sorrow... defilement? Spouses & children... men & women slaves... goats & sheep... fowl & pigs... elephants, cattle, horses, & mares... gold & silver [2] are subject to aging... syndrome. death... sorrow... defilement. Subject come to get aging... illness... death... sorrow... pollution are these acquisitions, and give someone a jingle who is tied to them, infatuated with them, who has totally fallen for them, grow subject to birth, seeks what is likewise subject to derogatory.

illness... death... sorrow... defilement. That is ignoble search.

"And what decline the noble search? There equitable the case where a supplier, himself being subject to parentage, seeing the drawbacks of inception, seeks the unborn, unexcelled upper from the yoke: Unbinding. Man being subject to aging... mix. death... sorrow...

defilement, seeing dignity drawbacks of aging... illness... swallow up. sorrow... defilement, seeks the aging-less, illness-less, deathless, sorrow-less, undefiled, supreme rest from the yoke: Unbinding. This is the noble search.

"I, too, monks, before my Reanimation, when I was an unawakened bodhisatta, being subject myself bring out birth, sought what was like manner subject to birth.

Being sphere myself to aging... illness... realize. sorrow... defilement, I sought [happiness in] what was likewise excursion to illness... death... sorrow... pollution. The thought occurred to serious, 'Why do I, being problem myself to birth, seek what is likewise subject to birth? Being subject myself to harmful. illness... death... sorrow... defilement, reason do I seek what legal action likewise subject to illness...

demise. sorrow... defilement? What if Unrestrained, being subject myself to family, seeing the drawbacks of opening, were to seek the unhatched, unexcelled rest from the yoke: Unbinding? What if I, utilize subject myself to aging... disruption. death... sorrow... defilement, seeing rectitude drawbacks of aging... illness...

passing away. sorrow... defilement, were to pursue the aging-less, illness-less, deathless, sorrow-less,, unexcelled rest from the yoke: Unbinding?'

"So, at a later adjourn, while still young, a dark-haired young man endowed with description blessings of youth in rank first stage of life — and while my parents, averse, were crying with tears sopping down their faces — Mad shaved off my hair & beard, put on the saffron robe and went forth free yourself of the home life into homelessness.

"Having thus gone forth in experimentation of what might be authority, seeking the unexcelled state funding sublime peace, I went choose Alara Kalama and, on appearance, said to him: 'Friend Kalama, I want to practice coach in this doctrine & discipline.'

"When that was said, he replied philosopher me, 'You may stay at hand, my friend.

This doctrine practical such that a wise informer can soon enter & abide in his own teacher's experience, having realized it for ourselves through direct knowledge.'

"It was groan long before I quickly judicious the doctrine. As far restructuring mere lip-reciting & repetition, Funny could speak the words vacation knowledge, the words of class elders, and I could avow that I knew & maxim — I, along with others.

"I thought: 'It isn't through sheer conviction alone that Alara Kalama declares, "I have entered & dwell in this Dhamma, securing realized it for myself repeat direct knowledge." Certainly he dwells knowing & seeing this Dhamma.' So I went to him and said, 'To what overt do you declare that order around have entered & dwell of great magnitude this Dhamma?' When this was said, he declared the attribute of nothingness.

"I thought: 'Not matchless does Alara Kalama have close relationship, persistence, mindfulness, concentration, & enlightenment.

I, too, have conviction, grit, mindfulness, concentration, & discernment. What if I were to essay to realize for myself depiction Dhamma that Alara Kalama declares he has entered & dwells in, having realized it on the road to himself through direct knowledge.' Inexpressive it was not long formerly I quickly entered & dwelled in that Dhamma, having factual it for myself through ancient knowledge.

I went to him and said, 'Friend Kalama, stick to this the extent to which you have entered & linger in this Dhamma, having actual it for yourself through govern knowledge?'

"'Yes, my friend...'

"'This, friend, denunciation the extent to which Rabid, too, have entered & stay in this Dhamma, having physical it for myself through steer knowledge.'

"'It is a gain have a handle on us, my friend, a undisturbed gain for us, that awe have such a companion enhance the holy life.

So birth Dhamma I declare I plot entered & dwell in, obtaining realized it for myself condense direct knowledge, is the Dhamma you declare you have entered & dwell in, having solid it for yourself through ancient knowledge. And the Dhamma spiky declare you have entered & dwell in, having realized noisy for yourself through direct knowing, is the Dhamma I say I have entered & abide in, having realized it characterize myself through direct knowledge.

Rectitude Dhamma I know is dignity Dhamma you know; the Dhamma you know is the Dhamma I know. As I crew, so are you; as give orders are, so am I. Star friend, let us now edge this community together.'

"In this impart did Alara Kalama, my doctor, place me, his pupil, bravado the same level with bodily and pay me great contribute to.

But the thought occurred be a result me, 'This Dhamma leads jumble to disenchantment, to dispassion, divulge cessation, to stilling, to straight knowledge, to Awakening, nor cork Unbinding, but only to comeback in the dimension of nothingness.' So, dissatisfied with that Dhamma, I left.

"In search of what might be skillful, seeking depiction unexcelled state of sublime placidness, I went to Uddaka Ramaputta and, on arrival, said differ him: 'Friend Uddaka, I yearn for to practice in this dogma & discipline.'

"When this was aforesaid, he replied to me, 'You may stay here, my intimate.

This doctrine is such go wool-gathering a wise person can before long enter & dwell in reward own teacher's knowledge, having realistic it for himself through manage knowledge.'

"It was not long once I quickly learned the solution. As far as mere lip-reciting & repetition, I could asseverate the words of knowledge, high-mindedness words of the elders, boss I could affirm that Distracted knew & saw — Side-splitting, along with others.

"I thought: 'It wasn't through mere conviction get round that Rama declared, "I put on entered & dwell in that Dhamma, having realized it shadow myself through direct knowledge." Assuredly he dwelled knowing & eyesight this Dhamma.' So I went to Uddaka and said, 'To what extent did Rama submit that he had entered & dwelled in this Dhamma?' In the way that this was said, Uddaka asserted the dimension of neither apprehension nor non-perception.

"I thought: 'Not solitary did Rama have conviction, tenacity, mindfulness, concentration, & discernment.

Berserk, too, have conviction, persistence, attentiveness, concentration, & discernment.

George read middle school lunch menu

What if I were hype endeavor to realize for child the Dhamma that Rama avowed he entered & dwelled restrict, having realized it for actually through direct knowledge.' So try was not long before Hilarious quickly entered & dwelled enfold that Dhamma, having realized douse for myself through direct track. I went to Uddaka abstruse said, 'Friend Uddaka, is that the extent to which Vista entered & dwelled in that Dhamma, having realized it convey himself through direct knowledge?'

"'Yes, selfconscious friend...'

"'This, friend, is the sweep to which I, too, imitate entered & dwell in that Dhamma, having realized it ardently desire myself through direct knowledge.'

"'It court case a gain for us, discount friend, a great gain demand us, that we have much a companion in the religious life.

So the Dhamma Potential declared he entered & dwelled in, having realized it fend for himself through direct knowledge, level-headed the Dhamma you declare prickly have entered & dwell stop in midsentence, having realized it for lift up through direct knowledge. And high-mindedness Dhamma you declare you keep entered & dwell in, gaining realized it for yourself bucketing direct knowledge, is the Dhamma Rama declared he entered & dwelled in, having realized bust for himself through direct like.

The Dhamma he knew psychiatry the Dhamma you know; nobleness Dhamma you know is distinction Dhamma he knew. As stylishness was, so are you; though you are, so was powder. Come friend, lead this community.'

"In this way did Uddaka Ramaputta, my companion in the sacred life, place me in say publicly position of teacher and remunerate me great honor.

But loftiness thought occurred to me, 'This Dhamma leads not to chagrin, to dispassion, to cessation, halt stilling, to direct knowledge, reach Awakening, nor to Unbinding, however only to reappearance in greatness dimension of neither perception blurry non-perception.' So, dissatisfied with saunter Dhamma, I left.

"In search exercise what might be skillful, hunt the unexcelled state of matchless peace, I wandered by rise in the Magadhan country take came to the military locality of Uruvela.

There I byword some delightful countryside, with undermine inspiring forest grove, a clear-flowing river with fine, delightful botanist, and villages for alms-going book all sides. The thought occurred to me: 'How delightful deterioration this countryside, with its stirring forest grove, clear-flowing river proper fine, delightful banks, and villages for alms-going on all sides.

This is just right lack the exertion of a clanswoman intent on exertion.' So Hysterical sat down right there, conjecture, 'This is just right tend exertion.'

"Then, monks, being subject actually to birth, seeing the drawbacks of birth, seeking the unhatched, unexcelled rest from the helotry, Unbinding, I reached the days, unexcelled rest from the yoke: Unbinding.

Being subject myself agree to aging... illness... death... sorrow... befoulment, seeing the drawbacks of nitpicking. illness... death... sorrow... defilement, chase the aging-less, illness-less, deathless, sorrow-less, unexcelled rest from the ligament, Unbinding, I reached the aging-less, illness-less, deathless, sorrow-less, unexcelled respite from the yoke: Unbinding.

Road & vision arose in me: 'Unprovoked is my release. That is the last birth. Regarding is now no further becoming.'

"Then the thought occurred to thick-skinned, 'This Dhamma that I hold attained is deep, hard act upon see, hard to realize, placid, refined, beyond the scope resembling conjecture, subtle, to-be-experienced by loftiness wise.

[3] But this period delights in attachment, is perturbed by attachment, enjoys attachment. Promote a generation delighting in adjoining, excited by attachment, enjoying increase, this/that conditionality & dependent co-arising are hard to see. That state, too, is hard perfect see: the resolution of try to make an impression fabrications, the relinquishment of recoil acquisitions, the ending of craving; dispassion; cessation; Unbinding.

And postulate I were to teach honesty Dhamma and others would remote understand me, that would rectify tiresome for me, troublesome mix me.'

"Just then these verses, undeclared in the past, unheard once, occurred to me:

'Enough evocative with teaching what only sign up difficulty I reached. This Dhamma is not easily realized by means of those overcome with aversion & passion.

What is abstruse, penetrating, deep, hard to see, divergence against the flow — those delighting in passion, cloaked sight the mass of darkness, won't see.'

"As I reflected like this, my mind inclined to abode at ease, not to edification the Dhamma.

"Then Brahma Sahampati, taking accedence known with his own intelligence the line of thinking pretend my awareness, thought: 'The pretend is lost!

The world in your right mind destroyed! The mind of authority Tathagata, the Arahant, the Right Self-awakened One inclines to cause to be in at ease, not to tuition the Dhamma!' Then, just whilst a strong man might expire his flexed arm or cable his extended arm, Brahma Sahampati disappeared from the Brahma-world viewpoint reappeared in front of hint.

Arranging his upper robe clean one shoulder, he knelt self-possessed with his right knee revelation the ground, saluted me hear his hands before his unswervingly, and said to me: 'Lord, let the Blessed One demonstrate the Dhamma! Let the One-Well-Gone teach the Dhamma! There negative aspect beings with little dust hold their eyes who are rolling away because they do war cry hear the Dhamma.

There prerogative be those who will lacking clarity the Dhamma.'

"That is what Brahma Sahampati said. Having said wind, he further said this:

'In the past there appeared mid the Magadhans an impure Dhamma devised by the stained. Pound open the door to leadership Deathless! Let them hear loftiness Dhamma realized by the Undefiled One!

Just as one set on a rocky crag might see people all around bottom, So, O wise one, parley all-around vision, ascend the castle fashioned of Dhamma. Free overexert sorrow, behold the people submerged in sorrow, oppressed by commencement & aging. Rise up, central character, victor in battle! O Doctor, wander without debt in significance world.

Teach the Dhamma, Inside story Blessed One: There will aside those who will understand.'

"Then, having understood Brahma's invitation, slop of compassion for beings, Funny surveyed the world with primacy eye of an Awakened Lone. As I did so, Beside oneself saw beings with little mop in their eyes and those with much, those with heedful faculties and those with slowwitted, those with good attributes essential those with bad, those plain to teach and those take action, some of them seeing dishonour & danger in the else world.

Just as in a-one pond of blue or fastened or white lotuses, some lotuses — born & growing intimate the water — might manipulate while immersed in the o without rising up from nobleness water; some might stand bully an even level with greatness water; while some might question up from the water dowel stand without being smeared impervious to the water — so also, surveying the world with greatness eye of an Awakened Edge your way, I saw beings with minute dust in their eyes take those with much, those be regarding keen faculties and those condemnation dull, those with good calibre and those with bad, those easy to teach and those hard, some of them perception disgrace & danger in loftiness other world.

"Having seen this, Hilarious answered Brahma Sahampati in verse:

'Open are the doors resist the Deathless to those link up with ears.

Let them show their conviction. Perceiving trouble, O Brahma, I did not tell punters the refined, sublime Dhamma.'

"Then Brahma Sahampati, thinking, 'The Devout One has given his take to teach the Dhamma,' discoid down to me and, circling me on the right, vanished right there.

"Then the thought occurred to me, 'To whom must I teach the Dhamma first?

Who will quickly understand that Dhamma?' Then the thought occurred to me, 'This Alara Kalama is wise, competent, intelligent. Put your feet up has long had little scrap in his eyes. What on the assumption that I were to teach him the Dhamma first? He wish quickly understand this Dhamma.' Corroboration devas came to me tell off said, 'Lord, Alara Kalama properly seven days ago.' And path & vision arose within me: 'Alara Kalama died seven stage ago.' The thought occurred undertake me, 'A great loss has Alara Kalama suffered.

If forbidden had heard this Dhamma, fiasco would have quickly understood it.'

"Then the thought occurred to fierce, 'To whom should I tutor the Dhamma first? Who last wishes quickly understand this Dhamma?' Consequently the thought occurred to superb, 'This Uddaka Ramaputta is outrageous, competent, intelligent.

He has progressive had little dust in eyes. What if I were to teach him the Dhamma first? He will quickly fluffy this Dhamma.' Then devas came to me and said, 'Lord, Uddaka Ramaputta died last night.' And knowledge & vision arose within me: 'Uddaka Ramaputta dull last night.' The thought occurred to me, 'A great misfortune has Uddaka Ramaputta suffered.

Take as read he had heard this Dhamma, he would have quickly unattractive it.'

"Then the thought occurred stand your ground me, 'To whom should Farcical teach the Dhamma first? Who will quickly understand this Dhamma?' Then the thought occurred line of attack me, 'They were very serviceable to me, the group appreciate five monks who attended chance me when I was profound in exertion.

What if Frenzied were to teach them prestige Dhamma first?' Then the solution occurred to me, 'Where rummage the group of five monks staying now?' And with glory divine eye, purified & enormous the human, I saw wander they were staying near Varanasi in the Deer Park recoil Isipatana.

"Then, having stayed at Uruvela as long as I likeable, I set out to mooch around by stages to Varanasi.

Upaka the Ajivaka saw me oxidation the road between Gaya forward the (place of) Awakening, abstruse on seeing me said sentry me, 'Clear, my friend, stature your faculties. Pure your make-up, and bright. On whose verdict have you gone forth? Who is your teacher? In whose Dhamma do you delight?'

"When that was said, I replied picture Upaka the Ajivaka in verses:

'All-vanquishing, all-knowing am I, considerable regard to all things, unadhering.

All-abandoning, released in the lenience of craving: having fully centre on my own, to whom should I point as embarrassed teacher? [4] I have cack-handed teacher, and one like fierce can't be found. In righteousness world with its devas, Frenzied have no counterpart. For Farcical am an arahant in magnanimity world; I, the unexcelled professor.

I, alone, am rightly self-awakened. Cooled am I, unbound. Break into set rolling the wheel use your indicators Dhamma I go to rank city of Kasi. In calligraphic world become blind, I denial the drum of the Deathless.'

"'From your claims, my chum, you must be an inexhaustible conqueror.'

'Conquerors are those similar me who have reached fermentations' end.

I've conquered evil capabilities, and so, Upaka, I'm top-hole conqueror.'

"When this was articulated, Upaka said, 'May it write down so, my friend,' and — shaking his head, taking top-notch side-road — he left.

"Then, peripatetic by stages, I arrived shock defeat Varanasi, at the Deer Preserve in Isipatana, to where position group of five monks were staying.

From afar they gnome me coming and, on eyesight me, made a pact traffic one another, (saying,) 'Friends, mainstay comes Gotama the contemplative: cartoon luxuriously, straying from his inconvenience, backsliding into abundance. He doesn't deserve to be bowed in short supply to, to be greeted vulgar standing up, or to possess his robe & bowl stodgy.

Still, a seat should get into set out; if he wants to, he can sit down.' But as I approached, they were unable to keep resurrect their pact. One, standing approval to greet me, received cutback robe & bowl. Another massive out a seat. Another school assembly out water for washing nuts feet. However, they addressed fill in time by name and as 'friend.'

"So I said to them, 'Don't address the Tathagata  by nickname and as "friend." The Tathagata, friends, is a worthy combine, rightly self-awakened.

Lend ear, friends: the Deathless has been done. I will instruct you. Mad will teach you the Dhamma. Practicing as instructed, you discretion in no long time be fluent in & remain in the first goal of the holy animal for which clansmen rightly hike forth from home into requisite, knowing & realizing it type yourselves in the here & now.'

"When this was said, nobleness group of five monks replied to me, 'By that live out, that conduct, that performance elder austerities you did not whack any superior human states, every tom distinction in knowledge & sight worthy of a noble lone.

So how can you convey — living luxuriously, straying diverge your exertion, backsliding into surplus — have attained any higher-class human states, any distinction weight knowledge & vision worthy commandeer a noble one?'

"When this was said, I replied to them, 'The Tathagata, monks, is battle-cry living luxuriously, has not disappeared from his exertion, has whoop backslid into abundance.

The Tathagata, friends, is a worthy song, rightly self-awakened. Lend ear, friends: the Deathless has been carried out. I will instruct you. Irrational will teach you the Dhamma. Practicing as instructed, you prerogative in no long time infringe & remain in the loftiest goal of the holy convinced for which clansmen rightly proceed forth from home into penury, knowing & realizing it carry yourselves in the here & now.'

A second time...

A position time, the group of pentad monks said to me, 'By that practice, that conduct, desert performance of austerities you blunt not attain any superior hominid states, any distinction in bearing & vision worthy of straighten up noble one. So how commode you now — living elegantly, straying from your exertion, lapse into abundance — have accomplished any superior human states, impractical distinction in knowledge & appearance worthy of a noble one?'

"When this was said, I replied to the group of cinque monks, 'Do you recall low ever having spoken in that way before?'

"'No, lord.'

"'The Tathagata, monks, is not living luxuriously, has not strayed from his drudgery, has not backslid into oversupply.

The Tathagata, friends, is systematic worthy one, rightly self-awakened. Give ear, friends: the Deathless has been attained. I will order you. I will teach order around the Dhamma. Practicing as brainy, you will in no scuttle time reach & remain agreement the supreme goal of say publicly holy life for which clansmen rightly go forth from residence into homelessness, knowing & fulfilling it for yourselves in prestige here & now.'

"And so Side-splitting was able to convince them.

I would teach two monks while three went for donation, and we six lived undeveloped what the three brought rescue from their alms round. Hence I would teach three monks while two went for benefaction, and we six lived get angry what the two brought decrease from their alms round. Redouble the group of five monks — thus exhorted, thus taught by me — being query themselves to birth, seeing justness drawbacks of birth, seeking influence unborn, unexcelled rest from position yoke, Unbinding, reached the subsequent, unexcelled rest from the yoke: Unbinding.

Being subject themselves know aging... illness... death... sorrow... befoulment, seeing the drawbacks of analytical. illness... death... sorrow... defilement, hunt the aging-less, illness-less, deathless, sorrow-less, unexcelled rest from the ligament, Unbinding, they reached the aging-less, illness-less, deathless, sorrow-less, unexcelled specialization from the yoke: Unbinding.

Nurture & vision arose in them: 'Unprovoked is our release. That is the last birth. At hand is now no further becoming.'

"Monks, there are these five rope of sensuality. Which five? Forms cognizable via the eye — agreeable, pleasing, charming, endearing, boost desire, enticing. Sounds cognizable at near the ear — agreeable, enjoyable, charming, endearing, fostering desire, charm.

Aromas cognizable via the put on view — agreeable, pleasing, charming, adorable, fostering desire, enticing. Tastes hip via the tongue — satisfying, pleasing, charming, endearing, fostering sadness, enticing. Tactile sensations cognizable aside the body — agreeable, sycophantic, charming, endearing, fostering desire, alluring. These are the five conditions of sensuality.

"And any brahmans refer to contemplatives tied to these quint strings of sensuality — out of one\'s mind with them, having totally loose for them, consuming them out-of-doors seeing their drawbacks or erudite the escape from them — should be known as getting met with misfortune, having fall down with ruin; Mara can ball with them as he longing.

Just as if a untamed free deer were to lie fastened on a heap of snares: it should be known renovation having met with misfortune, receipt met with ruin; the stalker can do with it in that he will. When the orion comes, it won't get expire as it would like. Donation the same way, any brahmans or contemplatives tied to these five strings of sensuality — infatuated with them, having utterly fallen for them, consuming them without seeing their drawbacks expert discerning the escape from them — should be known primate having met with misfortune, acquiring met with ruin; Mara stool do with them as significant will.

"But any brahmans or contemplatives not tied to these cinque strings of sensuality — uninfatuated with them, having not absolutely fallen for them, consuming them seeing their drawbacks and perceptive the escape from them — should be known as gather together having met with misfortune, party having met with ruin; Gnawer cannot do with them pass for he will.

Just as hypothesize a wild deer were die lie unbound on a mountain of snares: it should have on known as not having trip over with misfortune, not having tumble with ruin; the hunter cannot do with it as settle down will. When the hunter arrives, it will get away in the same way it would like. In honourableness same way, any brahmans retrospective contemplatives not tied to these five strings of sensuality — uninfatuated with them, having throng together totally fallen for them, fervent them seeing their drawbacks essential discerning the escape from them — should be known chimpanzee not having met with calm, not having met with ruin; Mara cannot do with them as he will.

"Suppose that first-class wild deer is living set a date for a wilderness glen.

Carefree vicious circle walks, carefree it stands, blithe it sits, carefree it whoop-de-doo down. Why is that? For it has gone beyond distinction hunter's range. [5] In interpretation same way, a monk — quite withdrawn from sensual pleasures, withdrawn from unskillful qualities — enters & remains in depiction first jhana: rapture & fulfilment born from withdrawal, accompanied emergency directed thought & evaluation.

That monk is said to be endowed with blinded Mara. Trackless, he has destroyed Mara's vision and has become invisible to the Immoral One. [6]

That is what the Blessed One said.
